I assumed that the techniques and test suite would cover html and xhtml and 
other versions of these technologies that were similar. I also assumed that 
xhtml basic was sufficiently similar that it could be grouped together with 
the other markup languages.

The exclusion of the lang attribute from the html element in xhtml basic 
seems like a minor point. However there may be major differences which would 
require a separate set of techniques and test suite for xhtml basic. Has 
anyone looked at the differences, in terms of accessibility, between xhtml 
basic and other versions of xhtml?

Cheers,
Chris
