Although something like this is clearly a mistake and should not be allowed: <span lang="fr" xml:lang="de"> Isn't the following a little more of a grey area? <span lang="fr-FR" xml:lang="fr"> Might an improved criterion for conformance be: if @lang and @xml:lang are both present, they must be equal, or one must be a substring of the other, matching the head of the longer string. (All case insensitive.) When the attributes conform to the previous condition, the longer attribute value is taken to be the language of the element. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
