Alternatively, how about: > <p>Applying the language information data category to > <att>xml:lang</att> attributes using global rules is not > necessary, since <att>xml:lang</att> is defined in the same terms > by the <loc href="...">XML specification</loc>. where the href is to 2.12 Language Identification of the XML spec Ed 4.> > Also I assume RFC-4646 is backward compatible with RFC-3066.
