Good point, I thought |= worked like that, but it doesn’t.

I suppose that a couple of cleverly crafted ^= or *= rules can be used 
to match the languages and qualifiers. In practice it is maybe more 
likely that document authors will use only single language-identifiers 
for @hreflang.

[hreflang="nl"],
[hreflang^="nl-"],
[hreflang^="nl;"],
[hreflang^="nl,"],
[hreflang*=",nl-"],
[hreflang*=",nl;"],
[hreflang*=",nl,"],
[hreflang$=",nl"] {
    background-image: url('dutch_flag.png');
}
