> <meta name="language" content="en-gb" /> My impression is that a lot of meta element properties were added into HTML to allow one to dump the meta information from MS Word into an HTMLised version of a Word document, without having to thing about whether the particular property was covered by HTML. In this particular case, the HTML specification says that the default language is take from the HTTP Content-Language header (with an equivalent provided by meta http-equiv taking precedence), provided that there is only one language. Documents can have more than one language from this point of view; the languages in this context represent the set union of the languages spoken by the intended audience of the page.
