So I am not sure why it matters to tools that these things are redundant. If they don't know which is relevant to a particular instance (and in some environments that is already known) they can readily include both, based on an authoring interface that just asks for the language (and doesn't require the author to know which particular encodings are being used anyway). chaals On Wed, 30 Jan 2002, Phill Jenkins wrote: Liddy, I'm still trying to get DC to fix a problem with the language meta tag. <HTML lang="en-US"> is very redundant with the <meta scheme="rfc1766" name ="DC.Language" content="en-us"/> Who in DC can help fix this? Authors, tools, and ATs are confused which to support.

The aim of the DC Accessibility IG is to work on Accessibility metadata - with the pay-off that will come from being part of one of the most effective standard movements...DC is starting to be everywhere. stay tuned!
