> FWIW, the i18n group keeps track of comments on your doc at > http://www.w3.org/International/reviews/1007-polyglot/ This is a comment to 5th issue: 5th issue: ]] No mention is made of the lang and xml:lang attributes. The document should say that both should be used when language attributes are used.[[ Comment: Indeed, that is a very important bug. But, as the focus of this document is to be a _spec_, the document MUST say that both xml:lang and lang have to be used - none of them can be used alone. ]] It may also recommend the use of the language attributes in the html element to set the default language for the document, and mention that the meta Content-Language element has no usefulness at all in XML for setting the language of content. [[ Comment: This feels like, eventually, another issue. It also feels very "authoring guide" like. (And, it also depends on the outcome of a Change Proposal issue - but it seems that we much on the same page there.) Are there reasons to say anything special about http-equiv="Content-language" with regard to Polyglot Markup? Based on my previous testing, then all the dominating browser engines behave exactly the same way with regard to both http-equiv="Content-Language" and lang/xml:lang, regardless of XHTML or HTML parsing is used. So I think not. -- leif halvard silli
