Section 3.2.6 (FTLanguageOption)
Appendix C (Static Context)
Appendix I (Checklist of Implementation-Defined)

language="none" is not a sensible choice. Tokenization is intrinsically
language-dependent and full-text search is intrinsically dependent on
tokenization. I believe we should drop the language=none and require the static
context to define a specific (implementation-defined) default language.
