4.1 The root element
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/semantics.html#the-root-element
It's good that the example shows a 'lang' attribute. Can there (should there)
be a health warning that @lang is expected here?

Do we really expect people to give it?

We expect people to give it elsewhere. Providing it here give a hint to the
user agent when drawing the browser's title bar or the tab title which can
improve the font choices/render quality, especially if the title element
doesn't match the language of the <html> element.

I can certainly add a note encouraging people to specify it. I doubt it'll have
any effect though.
