Chris, this looks OK to me. One suggestion: For XHTML documents served as text/html that *do* have both required attributes (lang and xml:lang), check to see if the value oflang= and xml:lang= are the *same* valid language code. I'm not sure what would happen if they were different, but I bet it's not pretty. John "Good design is accessible design."
