    Yes, I agree that the technology needs to mark changes in language. However, that doesn't require that any language markup indicate more than one language at a time.

    Why do we think it is necessary to accessibility to mark all the languages
    used in a document? Isn't it sufficient to indicate the default language
    (even if that language is only the most used language in the document), and
    then to mark up language changes within the documenht?
    
    Roberto Scano:
    Because this is a requirement of Markup languages for help technologies to
    understand / represent the change of language in the correct manner.
    If a tecnology (not only AT but also, for eg, XHTML+VXML application) isn't
    informed about change of language (dictionary), an user cannot understand
    the meaning of some words, having a reading like "Laurel & Hardy".
