If you have a Web browsers were you can actually either set the 
language of the current document (e.g. when lang="" is failing) or 
where you can override lang="" (e.g. because it is wrong), then I would 
like to know about that Web browser.

I have never tried such a Web browser. But I would like to try it. It 
could be a good feature - just as useful as the encoding menu currently 
is (but of course, fortunately I seldom need to change the encoding 
manually, and I expect that I only seldom would need to change the 
language as well, if the UA supported this).

Note that "preference" is a wide term, at least I perceive it as such, 
when it appears in specification. In the Web browser I usually use, the 
default encoding is changed via the encoding menu. Thus I can change 
the default encoding - including override the current encoding - very 
easily whenever I will.
