Just a couple points from my perspective on the Chinese languages and 
extlang. 

1) We use "zh" today to indicate either Mandarin or Cantonese audio or 
written language that has not yet been verified to be either Cantonese or 
Mandarin. This is one use of the tag.

2) We tag audio content with the "zh" tag.

3) The audio content we tag with the "zh" tag is sometimes Cantonese.

4)  We need a tag for written Cantonese used in subtitles, and today we 
use "zh-yue."

I apologize for not being able to join any of the conference calls. I am 
OK with whatever the committee decides, but some of the premises seemed 
off based on our usage.
