In the example document in Appendix B (to demonstrate rule A.7 as it applies to XHTML 1.0 served as "text/html"), the "lang" attribute is omitted: http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/NOTE-xhtml-media-types-20090116/#a_example Currently, it reads: ---- <!-- use lang and xml:lang if your language supports it - A.7 --> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> ---- Also, I suggest re-ordering the examples provided in Appendix B because the text starts with "The following is..." only to be interrupted by the example for XHTML 1.1; readers quickly skimming the text may be confused, as I was when I first read the example. I suggest moving the example for XHTML 1.1 to follow the example for 1.0 (and add the "lang" attribute to the html element, which I have included): ----- Appendix B. An Example Document The following is an example document that adopts the conventions described in Appendix A to ensure its portability among XHTML and HTML user agents. This example uses XHTML 1.0 Strict. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www..w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <!-- use lang and xml:lang if your language supports it - A.7 --> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>Example Portable XHTML</title> <!-- Embed encoding when you can't set it from the server - A.9 --> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> [...] </body> </html> It could also have used XHTML 1.1. In that case the top of the document would look like: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www..w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"> In this case, note that the lang attribute is not used on the html element. XHTML 1.1 does not support the lang attribute. ---- Thank you all for your work in producing this document because I think the concept of media types is greatly misunderstood.
