RE: Language declaration tests

It is not used generally speaking, but if you look at a page that has been language negotiated you will see it used. Eg.

http://www.w3.org/International/articles/serving-xhtml/Overview.sv.html

http://www.w3.org/International/articles/serving-xhtml/Overview.en.html

http://www.w3.org/International/articles/inline-bidi-markup/Overview.he.html

etc.
