Internationalization best practices [1] states: ³Where a document contains content aimed at speakers of more than one language, use Content-Language with a comma-separated list of language tags.² The HTML 5 specs [2] state: ³Šthere is a document-wide default language set, then that is the language of the node. If there is no document-wide default language, then language information from a higher-level protocol (such as HTTP), if any, must be used as the final fallback language. In the absence of any language information, the default value is unknown (the empty string).² What is not clear is, what happens if a HTML document has a HTTP header Content-Language has a comma-separated list of language tags and no other language declarations? I found on a thread [3] that states such a document will be declared to use "unknown" language in this case. It would be good to have this case explicitly stated.
