Destination language (was: RE: minutes from today (team b))

This is almost useless, since the language of a reference might per se be
unclear and/or contain "several languages" (due to content negotiation, for
example), and might always change without notice, of course. Due to the high
probability of wrong declarations I consider it unnecessary and harmful
work.

We should nonetheless encourage the use of "lang"/"xml:lang" for
translations, for example:

  <link rel="alternate" href="http://example.org/de/" title="Deutsch" 
    xml:lang="de" />
