Although they are all Chinese, however, they use different terminologies
for the same thing due to the
culture changes in the areas. It's not just that simple with Han-S and Han-
T. Also not a macro language I think.
I know it might not be easy for an non-Chinese to understand this, but
it's the language we live with it day by day.
So are you suggesting we should stick to these distinctions? And we should have four zh-versions of all pages and templates? Because the tendency I have noticed is to use "zh-hans" and "zh-hant" which are nothing official. It would be nice at least if there was some consistency.

The "zh-hans" and "zh-hant" tags are introdeced as the assignments of language tags by IANA. (see http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-tags for list of assignments), I don't have much idea the stuffs that comes from IANA is official or not. -_-||
