RE: what's the language of a document ?

One small additional reference:

   http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/language-decl/


I think this illustrates the current state of affairs pretty well and I don't think there is any reason to change it, except maybe to clarify it a bit. Personally I think that if <html> doesn't have either a lang or an xml:lang attribute, the default value should continue to be the empty tag.

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.
