If the prefix zh-Latn (and later real languages + Latn)
is registered, then for zh-pinyin *fewer* applications
might still know the relationship, because it is in the
registry.
OTOH if the prefix in the registry is only zh, then for
zh-pinyin *fewer* boils down to *zero*. Unless somebody
went to the trouble to add a relationship info manually
to their application.
IMO that doesn't scale => prefix zh is not good enough.
