Comment:
&quot;If the resulting value is not a recognized language code, then it must be treated as an unknown language (as if the value was the empty string).&quot; -- consider how this interacts with CSS :lang(), with passthrough/roundtripping, screen readers that recognise languages the UA doesn&apos;t, etc.
