Do I have to need more than described in  
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-lang-tag? IT says that the attribute  
specifies the language used in the contents and attribute values of any  
element in an XML document. And: "The intent declared with xml:lang is  
considered to apply to all attributes and content of the element where it  
is specified, unless overridden with an instance of xml:lang on another  
element within that content."

A reasonable restriction would be the pattern of xslt (I added this  
comment also to the scope req wiki.

To look for what?

As I said in a mail before: Let's publish a first wd within October. I  
propose for the next teleconf a topic whether we should commit ourself to  
this goal, so that people like CL can give a goal to their managment -  
that they allow them to participate in the working group longer ;)

Best,

Felix
