<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hmm, but this is MORE specific than
en-UK or en-US. This is a regional tag like other regional tags, it just
doesn't have a standardized codeset we can use. And the reality of audio
works is that there is often a mix of closely related dialects in the same
work. We don't classify films by character, we classify the work. The tag
I'm ideally looking for would include both Glaswegian and Edinburgh English
-- any dialect of English found in Scotland (not Scots).</font>

Because one wants to ensure that the variant tag delimits something <br>
specific. Glasgow and Edinburgh speech varieties are rather different.<br>
