In my design it's just a target="pattern" element, helping user choose
fonts better.  Apparently we have different ideas here.

As for Ed's request, I think that thing is already supported, at least
in glibc.  One can have locales like az_IR at latn for example.  Not sure
what Pango does with that, but it's not hard to make it work.  That
probably is not valid RFC-3066 thought, so I guess pango strips @latn
part out.
