Publican should handle 2 and 5 character codes.

It makes language code format consistent across all languages since at the
minimum the two Chinese languages use 5 character codes.

IMHO xx-YY for all languages is clear.

xx[-YY] is less clear.

What happens if you have a xx language and later on someone adds a xx-YY
variant? I recently heard this happened to one project when es-MX was added and
es already existed.

My point being that xx[-YY] is more prone to confusion than always having
xx-YY.

Cheers, Jeff.
