Yup...

Actually, I'm not sure XML handles cases like (what's the language of A
and what's the language of B?):
<div lang="foo">
<div>A
<div lang="bar" xml:lang="baz">
<div>B
xml:lang precedence (even in HTML) has been a source of confusion and user
agent bugs in the past (maybe it's still a problem in some UAs) so it
seems better to let HTML 5 be explicit about it.
