In my case, we have a single field, "bug description" that may contain both English and German.  And in some cases, even a pure German bug report may reference the English form fields, such as:

	Legen Sie "City" vor "Postal Code"

In that case, there is no way for a UA or Server to auto-determine the language, even if you're aware the user speaks both German and English.

My suggestion is to leave the lang attribute out of the spec, and let the UA handle it as it wants.
