In practice, one may expect that in most cases most (if not all) of the document will be in the language specified in the HTML tag, with some pieces in other languages, for example quotations or references. -- Jonathan Rosenne JR Consulting P O Box 33641, Tel Aviv, Israel Phone: +972 50 246 522 Fax: +972 9 956 7353 http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Jonathan_Rosenne/
