We already have baseURI. I suppose we could have another such thing.
"lang" is taken unfortunately. "language"? "naturalLang"? (Based on

I do not think its exact behavior should be defined in DOM4, but we can
certainly introduce the concept and say that other specifications define
it. E.g. HTML and XML.
