LOL. I18N has never been happy about natural language in attributes (because the host element's metadata doesn't always apply)....... 😀

We need some form or forms of shared infrastructure. On the one hand I have a number of specifications and APIs that are defining natural language text fields. The requirements for these fields are effectively identical and interop is best served when different specs understand that this or that field "is a" localizable type.

We got some traction with JSON-LD, which helps in that space. This issue is for WebIDL, but I'm open to creating the necessary reference-ready values in a different spec instead of or in addition to here.
