Like the I18N WG, I have changed my mind - and have been revising my change proposal to reflect this. In essence, I now support the I18N WG's original proposal, which, in effect (on the spec) basically is identical with what Julian and Roy is saying. Otherwise, what Addison says on behalf of the I18N WG, does not hold true: making Content-Language non-conforming will *not*, quote: "eliminate the confusing (and not useful) overlap in language declaration". Making the META content-language non-conforming, will only move the "confusion" one step higher up. Because, the HTML5 spec is clear on the fact that HTML5 conforming user agents will inherit the language from the server whenever there isn't whether a @lang attribute nor a META content-language element.
