This all seems to be tool level rather than language level. Why put this in the format? Swoop allowed one to configure the display based on lang tag. Easy to make it for property as well. Easy to share config files.

Er...that makes me think that this is not a finished proposal. It seems to be a minimal requirement that a mapping be unambiguous in all cases. Cheers, Bijan.
