Long ago I proposed an attribute for code language because I was
unhappy with all the class="language-whatever" thing. I proposed @lang
because I thought there could be an issue with speech synthesis and
languages, but it was effectively pointed out that such attribute does
not fit this case.

+1 for @type, it is widely consistent to use that for MIME types. But
I guess that it will bring nowhere (as usual) unless vendors show any
interest for this issue.
