Comment: 

There is no language attribute available for use on the emma:literal
element. Please add one.

 

Response:

 

ACCEPTED with modification

 

Every emma:literal element appears within an emma:interpretation
element,

and the emma:lang attribute is permitted on emma:interpretation.

Therefore, there is no need for another emma:lang attribute on the 

emma:literal element. For consistency we prefer that emma:lang appear

on emma:interpretation rather than having emma:lang potentially

appear on both elements. With respect to xml:lang, we will clarify in 

the specification that the xml:lang attribute 

can appear on any emma element (including emma:literal).
