Perhaps this will help: [1] I'm always wary of the hreflang attribute's usefulness (since I'm not aware of user agents that actually make use of it) [2] the meaning of that attribute in XHTML2 will change (so the example may not be so clear in the future - small point perhaps) [3] I'm also struggling to see an application for using it to style the link element content in current implementations [4] there is a fairly common practice of using the hreflang attribute specifically for styling link text on a elements to show what the expected language of the link target is therefore I'd therefore suggest changing hreflang examples referring to the link element to refer to the a element in examples.
