http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10661 --- Comment #2 from Gregory J. Rosmaita <oedipus@hicom.net> 2010-09-21 13:32:14 --- (In reply to comment #1) > I don't understand what the problem is. currently the HTML5 spec declares lang="en-US-x-Hixie" whereas it should declare a recognized natural language declaration for the document such as: lang="en" or lang="en-us" is essential for proper processing of the natural language contained in the document -- screen reader users, for example, whose first language is not english but who understand english may have their screen reader set to auto-switch natural language based on the natural language declared for that page; likewise, someone whose first language uses a non-latin alphabet, relies on the natural language declaration for the page in order to properly render the page's content lang="en-US-x-Hixie" may be "cute" but cute has no place in a standard which itself should comply with standards, and the standard for W3C publications is to use either lang="en" or lang="en-us" -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
