You are mistaken. In CSS 2.1 the definition is "Whether there is a match
is based solely on the identifier C being either equal to, or a hyphen-
separated substring of, the element's language value, in the same way as
if performed by the '|=' operator" with no mention of any wildcards and
BCP 47 is referenced only informatively in a note unrelated to matching.
