I am trying to recommend on the use of the 'lang' attribute in relation to a not widely spoken language. (Maori, the native language of New Zealand) I am struggling to see what benefit using lang="mi" will have. These are the reasons put forward by WAI -Assisting search engines -Assisting speech synthesizers -Helping a user agent select glyph variants for high quality typography -Helping a user agent choose a set of quotation marks -Helping a user agent make decisions about hyphenation, ligatures, and spacing -Assisting spell checkers and grammar checkers Can anyone help me out with a real world example of any of the above OR give a reason apart from any of the above as to why to use the lang attribute.
