When I said "dealing with existing web content" I wasn't talking to the
language and a mechanism for authors, but about consumers of web pages for
translation process purposes - sorry for not being clear. I think Yves'
question 
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12417#c65
was from that consumer perspective. Again, I agree that there is no need to
complicate things for browser implementors and for Web authors - having just
the "translate" attribute with the semantics you describe is already a big win.
