I've found the lang attribute and :lang pseudo-class to be pretty useful in publishing for private tribal use documents in my (critically endangered) language. Unfortunately there isn't any standard way of distinguishing between the various scripts/orthographies, so we've extended the language names for that purpose.

Our work isn't listed on any of these pages about which indigenous languages are on the internet because we don't want it to be, these pages are for tribal citizen use only. So, there may be a lot more written languages in use somehow than the author believes. But who knows.
