This is important piece of metadata, as we came to partial degree 
standardization across the globe for regions for majority of countries 
some time ago, and it will be continue to evolve.

Would you be ok with us doing the first W3C Recommendation without the 
regionCode attribute, and then doing a subsequent release of the spec once 
browser implementations catch up? We acknowledge that region code is 
extremely important - just also going to take quite a bit of time to 
implement correctly.
