For historical reasons going back to Netscape days and predating the introduction
of the Hans and Hant tags, Firefox and Chrome localizations don't use Hans and Hant
to designate the Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese localizations.

The previous conclusion of omitting SG, HK, and MO due to the resulting mismatch
with Vista locales was incorrect.

For practical purposes, this change is editorial, although the point of the change is not to suggest windows-1252 for zh-SG, zh-HK, and zh-MO.

I'll merge this end of next week to give people some time to comment if there is a need.

One question, is there a reason the languages are not in lexicographical order? I'd have expected zh-CN to be first.

@whatwg/i18n this might be of interest to you.

Hans and Hant are more general designations, so I listed them first.
