so i did some digging on the latest available data from webdevdata (around
100,00 pages) found that approx 1 in 3 pages (33,000) had at least one lang
attribute . I manually perused the code of approx 100 of those looking for how
it was used. I found that approx 95%+ the lang attribute correctly reflected
the language of the page.
