[TECHS] Updated HTML technique for primary language

At the September 14, 2005 TeamB meeting I took an action item to work on 
the primary language technique based on the discussions from the list and 
at the meeting.  Attached is an updated HTML technique for primary 
language.  I started with the existing 4.1 Identifying the primary 
language [1] technique and made the following changes:

Removed the editorial note about using HTTP headers.  I added a paragraph 
acknowledging HTTP and meta element techniques but specifying that lang 
attribute is preferred.
Updated the example to include code examples for HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0 
served as text/html, and XHTML 1.1 served as application/xhtml+xml. 
Updated the references section to include info about language codes and a 
working draft  from W3C I18N group about specifying languages.

Can someone please double check that the doctype declarations of the 
examples are correct?
Is the explanation about HTTP and meta element sufficient?
Is it acceptable to provide the three code examples in one technique?



thanks,
