These are all valid points; then I’m wondering, why are both
server-side language annotations, which are easiest to set and more
maintainable, not mentioned, and generally no cons [2] listed, either?
One could, tongue in cheek, argue that the very conclusion holds true
for the reverse, that is, if authors avoided using @lang, vendors
would be forced to become better at detecting it. :)

I remember and appreciate our fruitful conversations from the past, so
I’m only sharing this to consider what may be a more balanced view.
