However, that is not accurate. When the language is undefined, it implies that it still is a language, but there isn't a tag for it. (Unknown, would imply it is a language, but we don't know which one.) However, as Joe Clark's mail indicated, there isn't a way to say that you know the text specifically is not a language. So, type samples, program code, part numbers, could all benefit from a code indicating they are not confroming to a language.
