In our case it was a local support channel for UK users, so it's
geographic - could we support a mixture, so use the iso code for
language if the channel is for language, but where there's a conflict
fall back on the long form (such as en-gb)?

We  might have language stuff going on, but we also want to organise
events and support local user groups, so it's really geographic in our
case.
