The obvious question is: Is hreflang intended as a substitute for Content-Language that doesn't require polling the server to determine the values the server supports for that URI or as an override or supplement to Accept-Language? The only other attribute that exists that corresponds to one of the Accept/Content pairs of HTTP is type, and its description indicates that it corresponds to Accept, not Content-Type. Thus it would seem that if hreflang is restored to XHTML2 that either it should correspond to Accept-Language or type should be changed to correspond to Content-Type. (Question: would hrefcharset or hrefencoding be of any use?
