Hi,

The HTML 4.0 doc says that the "HTML" tag could have a "lang" 
attribut (see 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/global.html#edef-HTML> and 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/dirlang.html#adef-lang>). But 
the validator at <http://validator.w3.org/> gives an error for an 
html page where the lang attribut is set for the "HTML" tag.

Sample page

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd">
<html lang="fr">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Exemple</title>
</head>

<body>
<p>Un petit exemple</p>
</body>

</html>
