That would be #5, "MicroXML shall support the needs of documents, in
particular mixed content." The language of a human-readable document is
an essential part of its interpretability, and @xml:lang is the standard
way of representing this property. The same applies to human-readable
strings embedded in data.
In addition, the xml: prefix does not create any interoperability
problems, since it MAY be used without a declaration and MUST NOT be
bound to some other namespace. Even if we decide to exclude prefixes in
attribute names, we should allow "xml:" by a special rule of the grammar.
