Comment from the i18n review of: http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-css3-selectors-20051215/ Comment 14 At http://www.w3.org/International/reviews/0601-css3-selectors/ Editorial/substantive: S Location in reviewed document: Sec. 6.6.3 [http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-css3-selectors-20051215/#lang-pseudo] Comment: "in the same way as if performed by the '|=' operator in attribute selectors" I think it is important to clarify that the behaviour of :lang and |= is significantly *different* with regards to inherited language values. This is not explained as far as I can see, but my understanding is that it is intended. We explain this difference at http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-css-lang#inheritance [http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-css-lang#inheritance] , and to ensure interoperable implementations of :lang we feel that this needs to be clarified in the specification. > From: Bjoern Hoehrmann [mailto:derhoermi@gmx.net] > Sent: 20 January 2006 15:22 > Regarding #14, the draft has "Whether an element is represented by a > :lang() selector is based solely on the identifier C being > either equal to, or a hyphen-separated substring of, the > element's language value, in the same way as if performed by > the '|=' operator in attribute selectors."
