Since this information mostly is "instable" (due to the mentioned

"hreflang" and/or a textual hint. But we cannot require, not to mention
automatically test this, I fear.

This sounds like an Advisory technique for GL 3.1 L2 SC1, but I would
say it is low priority-- something that would be nice to do if there's
time, but not something to spend time on  between now and 29 September.
We have plenty to do without adding this to our to-do list now.
