Language and locale aren't the same thing. A language can at best imply a
locale. Hence my proposed wording.

> "The language of an element is determined through language resolution algorithm

> present elements according to the conventions of a user's preferred locale."

If it's a note, it shouldn't contain the normative word "may". Also, we can't
reference section numbers since they change all the time (and vary from edition
to edition at any one time). 

I don't see how this is an improvement over the current note (with or without
my proposed modification). What is the problem you are trying to solve?


> this is fine but the notes should not be explicitly required as language
> resolution is already defined. 

I don't understand what you mean here.
