<div>First off, it is entirely appropriate to tag content for its intended audience. That's certainly what Id do for localized UI assets, and is why tagging something like es-419 is useful: nobody speaks es-419, but it’s a great way to characterize the intended
audience for a localized asset.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But for pseudo-localized content, the tag would definitely be describing the content, not any intended audience.</div><div class="im">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";font-size:11pt">I agree. Most of the made-up tags I see in the audiovisual realm are the result of people looking to identify the audience rather than the text
or content itself and I think this is an important distinction. I do not think RFC 5646 should be used for audience identification – but its needs may be influenced by such data.</span></p>
