I am sorry, Addison, this does not make sense.

No. It asserts that the author wanted to enter that flag because he assumed 
that this would be of use to the person reading the document if she known 
that tag. What is Spanish? I only know the "es" is related to the string 
"Spanish/Espagnol" in ISO 639-1. All the rest is non documented emotional 
assumptions.

No. It was created for (this time you are correct, but in contradiction 
with your point above) people able/wanting to share in a language which may 
be associated in the mind of authors and readers with the '419' area. 
Geographical association are certainly correct for commercial agency 
contract or TV Broadcasting rights, not for Internet documents, not for human.

This only documents there are two visions:
1. yours: the langtag says who has commercial rights on the content and 
related text processing tools
2. mine: the langtag permits people to indentify the cultural lingustic 
environment they want to share.
This is what I documented in a previous mail: content vs. protocol rooted 
visions.

At least you make it clear.
