John Cowan scripsit: > Why would empty strings be disallowed in xml:lang attributes? I can > find no indication of that in XHTML 1.0. The DTD says (cf. http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#a_dtd_XHTML-1.0-Strict): <!ENTITY % i18n "lang %LanguageCode; #IMPLIED xml:lang %LanguageCode; #IMPLIED dir (ltr|rtl) #IMPLIED" > The entity 'LanguageCode' was former defined as: <!ENTITY % LanguageCode "NMTOKEN"> NMTOKEN must not be an empty string (cf. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-name).
