Correction to the correction:  zh-min-nan-Latn is an invalid tag
in both RFC 4646 and RFC 4646bis.  You cannot add generative subtags
to irregular grandfathered tags.

RFC 4646bis will retain zh-min-nan for backward compatibility, but
will add zh-nan as a fully generative language subtag.

The penguin geeks is happy / As under the waves they lark
The closed-source geeks ain't happy / They sad cause they in the dark
But geeks in the dark is lucky / They in for a worser treat
One day when the Borg go belly-up / Guess who wind up on the street.
