There seems to be some confusion about the use case: having `lang` helps with font selection for the purposes of display (please, all, read Addison's email carefully!), which is different to the localization that is used by Mozilla's manifest format or the alternatives proposed in other bugs. 

That is to say, `default_locale`, if it was ever to be added, works independently of `lang`. It's like `<html lang=>` or `<foo xml:lang>`.
