The hreflang Attribute

Hello translators,

What do you think about indicating the target language of a link in a
translated document via the hreflang attibute?

For example:
<p><a href="http://www.w3.org/"><img alt="W3C" height="48" width="72"
src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/w3c_home" /></a></p>

will become:
<p><a href="http://www.w3.org/" hreflang="en"><img alt="W3C" height="48" width="72"
src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/w3c_home" /></a></p>
in the translated version.

This is quite simple to accomplish and at the same time appears to be
almost useless in today's browsers.

Happy translating.
