More language tags would solve a lot of annoyances

All web pages start with either the <html> or the <?xml> tags.
Even if you code in XHTML you still have to use the root tag <html>.

But, instead of having such a useless tag, why not have a different tag for 
the language the current part of the page is coded in?

Why not have a <vml> tag, a <javascript> tag, a <css> tag or even a <smil> 
tags? With that, you could switch from languages easily, hopefully without 
losing the carat (replace the <script> tag with </html><javascript> and it would 
work the exact same).

It shouldn't be to hard to do, and should remove the need of the "imports" 
tag for VML or SMIL.
