Well, we are stuck with it, and as currently written "zh-nan" *means*
"zh-nan-Hani", alas.  So if we go with extlangs, we need to add language
allowing, and giving the interpretation of, the Suppress-Script: header
when attached to an extlang subtag, and explaining that extlangs
don't inherit Suppress-Script: from their parents.
