I forgot to include a specific proposal in my previous message concerning this issue. More concretely then, I would suggest an optional element within the HTML head element which would specify the principal language of the document by way of an attribute. In the body of the document there would be an optional element that could be included in headings, paragraphs, lists or other desired contexts, and which would enclose text that was written in any language other than the principal language as already defined. This element would also include an attribute in which the name of the language would be given. I recall having read that there is a standard set of abbreviations for the names of languages but can not remember the source of this information. Jason White.
