A way for implementations to recognise that "en-Latn" and "en" are to
be considered the same, where the "-Latn" will be ignored when
matching because "en" has a s-s of "Latn" - for cases where a language
may sometimes (redundantly?) be tagged with an explicit script and
sometimes not.

Or so I thought I understood, but I'm veering onto shaky ground for my
knowledge so I think I'll stop here before claiming much more.

Cheers,
Philip
