I think this would be less surprising to users of RDF/XML; e.g.
<rdf:RDF xmlns ...
xml:lang="EN">
<rdf:Description about="ex:itemForSale">
<ex:itemDescription>A fine widget</ex:itemDescription>
<ex:itemPriceInCents rdf:datatype="xsd:int">12345</ex:itemPriceInCents>
</rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
In this interpretation of language tags that Pat suggests, the presence of
an outer language tag would not upset the inner datatyped interpretation.
