CSS is moving towards to rely on @lang to determine language-specific = typographic characteristics more than before. One example is in CSS = Fonts[1]. Also, CSS Text[2] relies on @lang. > 2) Isn=92t, or shouldn=92t, language determination primarily be made a > user agent, and not a developer responsibility? I don=92t understand this question. Does the =93developer=94 here mean = authors? If so, CSS WG thinks it=92s author=92s responsibility. > 3) Does it matter at all? Yes, there are many cases where correct typography cannot be achieved = without the content language, and @lang is the only tool we have today = for authors to specify that.
