If you have a look e.g. at http://www.unicode.org/iuc/iuc10/x-utf8.html
in Internet Explorer (and have a look at the source), you will see
that it's not vaporware. The source uses font tags (not a good idea,
but this page is quite old already), but only for size or color.
Also, it carefully uses the html 'lang' tag. Appropriate fonts
are automatically chosen for Japanese, simplified Chinese, and
traditional Chinese.

Do you call this vaporware, or what did you mean? [This is on Win98
with IE 5.5, and the necessary fonts have to be installed. But there
is no reason this cannot be done on X11. And it only worked after
I did some uninstall/install trial-and-error to rearrange some
settings that were probably disturbed by recently upgrading
several things to be at the recommended anti-virus level :-(.]
