Three. That makes three people who believe in Plane 14 tags. David,
Jungshik, and me.
Eventually, there will be more.
The admonition in Section 13.7 of TR #27 is correct: "The requirement
for language information embedded in plain text data is often
overstated." But there are, nevertheless, times when language
information is required, or when it would at least be beneficial, and
there is no other way to provide it.
Plane 14 language tags have a value, if only in certain contexts, and
should not be officially discouraged to the extent they are now.
