[Bug 12417] HTML5 is missing attribute for specifying translatability of content

Felix: what is the use case?

Generally speaking, it's possible to have elements and attributes have
different languages; you just use multiple elements. e.g.:

   <p lang="en">Hello
    <span lang=fr title="Ceci est le mot anglais pour 'chat'.">
     <span lang=en>Cat</span>
    </span>.
   </p>

Without a compelling reason to have to put everything on one element, I think
we're far better off without the added complexity.
