Note that marine, rail and highway report lists are all empty in both languages for some reason.

An interesting note on some things I am encountering while parsing the Chinese feeds:

The language code requires two subtags: zh-Hant-TW to tell this is Traditional Chinese from Taiwan. Knowing this required me to read two RFCs, look up two ISO standards and one IANA registry.
The feeds use the Republic of China Calendar, which is apparently just the Gregorian calendar but 1911 years late, and requiring some strange parsing that might break in 1998 years.

Apart from this weirdness, the attributes on the <tr> tags are actually pretty nice and make the rest of the parsing easy!

Due to there not being any investigations other than on aviation in either language, I will not create feeds for those as I am unsure what the HTML will look like when parsing it and what data it will hold. If, in the future, someone finds out the TTSB now has actual investigations in another type, please contact me by commenting on this issue or by any other means.
