Hmm. The content isn't really "in" Russian; it's still Chinese, but
transliterated using Russian-language rules.

I guess this does match the example in RFC 6497, section 1
("Introduction"), sentence beginning "Suppose". It just feels strange to
call this "ru-something" when the language of the content is Chinese.

In any event, this works right now, without any additional
registrations.
