Not necessarily. It keeps it consistent this way, but the more technical
answers are below.

My contacts at Opera said that using sv will mean you accept sv_* and it is up
to the application or webserver to serve you the sv you think makes most sense
(which would in the majority of cases be sv_SE).
>(And "sv_SE" isn't even available as an option with Firefox)
sv_SE *is* available as an option for Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. It also
supports sv_FI. So which is right? Firefox? Opera? Internet Explorer? As far
as I have been able to determine this is a bit of a shady area of webbrowsers
and servers. The best way forward, in my opinion, is to keep the current
language_TERRITORY scheme and provide an internal mapping table in Babel to
map short-hand Accept-Language specifiers to the appropriate dominant locale,
a bit like Horde currently does.
If you are aware of any documentation or specification that's very explicit
about these issues, please feel free to point it out. But I think the above
makes quite a lot of sentence and should address all points. Can you agree?
