Absolutely: Quoting styles, hypenation rules, ligatures, etc. are  
all language-sensitive.

Further, you might want to use a different style for phrases in  
another language, where the best markup might be <span lang="..."  
xml:lang="...">...</span>.

But that does not make the language a style attribute. It's a  
semantic attribute which style depends on.
