Hello Jon, Thank you for your answer. But see the changes below: the lang attribute has been totally removed in XHTML 1.1 and so not valid XHTML 1.1 The guidelines 11.2 say don't use attributes that are depreciated...so Bobby does not apply to the guidelines??? A. Changes from XHTML 1.0 Strict This appendix is informative. This Appendix describes the differences between XHTML 1.1 and XHTML 1.0 Strict. XHTML 1.1 represents a departure from both HTML 4 and XHTML 1.0. Most significant is the removal of features that were deprecated. In general, the strategy is to define a markup language that is rich in structural functionality, but that relies upon style sheets for presentation. The differences can be summarized as follows: On every element, the lang attribute has been removed in favor of the xml:lang attribute (as defined in [XHTMLMOD]).
