Do you know why we don't just follow the IETF's recommendations in

the web in general, e.g., in HTTP headers.

I have absolutely no idea, probably it just happened that someone chose a convention for OpenOffice.

The even take it a step further, which might be useful in some cases.
For example:  sr-Latn-RS means Serbian language written in Latin
script, as used in Serbia.

In this case we have both, and we call them "sh" and "sr":

But indeed we wouldn't be able to use this trick in other, similar cases.
