    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".
