Thank you for clarification of the language issue. May I suggest that when defining style guidelines for the accessibility of HTML documents, that proper use of the lang attribute be included as a requirement? Also, web page developers should try to avoid cases in which a language change occurs within a paragraph without any surrounding markup; thus, text in the new language should always be distinguished by emphasis, a block quotation etc. wherever possible, so that the lang attribute can be specified. Has the subject of markup for designating computer notation (namely, extracts from computer programmes etc. that are presented within the document) been raised as an issue in the discussion so far? Regards, Jason White.
