You can do this in CSS2 [1]:
[LANG=la] { font-style: italic }
See <http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-CSS2/selector.html#h-6.3> for more on
attribute selectors.
However, this is not what Rob wanted, which was a way to specify the
appearance of rendered attribute content. This isn't possible, unless you
apply the style to the element (IMG), which would also affect the
rendering of the image and ALT text.
