Re: Updated tutorial: Using language information in XHTML, HTML and CSS

Dear Richard:

After I look carefully about your material. I have to disagree with your 
statement in slide 7
"
Using [lang |= "..."]

This is a nonspecialized selector that works the same way as :lang(), [...].
"


As my understanding the :lang() consider the inheritance but [lang|=""] 
and [lang=""] not

For example

<p lang="en">
<form lang="fr">
<input name="a1">text</input>
</form>
</p>


so input:lang(fr) will match the text
but the following
input[lang|="fr,GB"]
input[lang|="fr"]
input[lang="fr"]
should not match the text because the input itself does not have a lang 
attribute, only one of it's ascendent has one.

I use the test suite I hack together in 2000 (see the 
selectors/selectorstesting.xml in 
http://people.netscape.com/ftang/paper/unicode18/demo.zip )

and it looks like FireFox/Mozilla pass all the test now (in 2000, 
Mozilla does not pass the :lang() test)
