The language label applies only to monolingual docs; i.e., each linguistic version is kept in a separated doc (it is easier). Monolingual docs could have small parts in another language and the LANG attribute should be use to mark the relevant parts. But even with small part in another language, the doc is monolingual and only one language should be transmited in the HTTP header. For example, a "Star Trek" doc in English must be clasified as English, even if there are a couple of sentence in Klingon. Regards Tomas
