There was a time when Traditional Chinese content was often tagged zh-TW and Simplified Chinese content was tagged zh-CN. There's been some transition in industry here, though I don't know how much inappropriate use of zh-TW or zh-CN still lingers. (Of course, in terms of this issue, zh-CN and zh-TW may still be appropriate for locale identification.) Recommending a transition from zh to cmn, yue etc. would have some merits, but making that transition would be much more of an uphill climb. > "zh" has historically been used to tag much more Mandarin than > Cantonese > or any other flavor of Chinese, but "zh" does not specifically mean > Mandarin. I was sure you and I agreed on that. And I'm quite certain John has not changed his thoughts in that regard. Peter
