Hi, Looking at how to determine the language of a node[1]: >To determine the language of a node, user agents must look at the nearest >ancestor element (including the element itself if the node is an element) >that has a lang or xml:lang attribute set. That specifies the language of >the node. ...and terminology[2]: >Unless otherwise stated, all elements defined or mentioned in this >specification are in the http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml namespace, and all >attributes defined or mentioned in this specification have no namespace >(they are in the per-element partition). ...it could be interpreted that the language of the text "foo" in the following document is "x": <foo lang="x"><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">foo</p></foo> ...which is probably not what was intended.
