<html lang=xx> would take effect until the </html> tag - that is,
the entire document.
I've always assumed that "inner" elements would have language tags
that would take precedence.
Your mixed Polish-Chinese pages DO have a problem; I would check
to see whether the required accendted chars were present in the
*Chinese* codepage you are using; some of these sets are *big*.
(or possibly look for floating accent marks, if your Chinese-rendering
SW handles those correctly....but the choice of charset is actually
independent of the question of the language tag)
