Didn't you see my mail with a reference to the HTML spec?
If that doesn't convince you, how about that little-known
protocol, HTTP? RFC 2616 states:
14.4 Accept-Language
[...]
A language-range matches a language-tag if
it exactly equals the tag, or if it exactly equals a prefix of the
tag such that the first tag character following the prefix is "-".
The special range "*", if present in the Accept-Language field,
matches every tag not matched by any other range present in the
Accept-Language field.
