Seriously, it shouldn't be zh_(COUNTRY) at *all* -- it's certainly possible to use traditional Chinese in mainland China and it's done when copying ancient texts. The (language)_(country) system is only really appropriate when the country corresponds to the dialect, which it usually doesn't.
Unfortunately there's no method to specify (language)_(writing-system), which is what is really wanted. It would also be useful for other languages. For a truly painful example, consider the Central Asian languages such as Uzbek, which have been written in Arabic, Roman, *and* Cyrillic alphabets, although the spoken language hasn't really changed that much. Also consider oddities like writing in transliteration (Chinese in Wade-Giles or Pinyin, Japanese in Roman script), languages like Serbo-Croatian (same language, different alphabets) and... well, you get the point. -- Make sure your vote will count. http://www.verifiedvoting.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
