Hi,
I'll subscribe soon, but I'd like you to send that e-mail to them before I  
do that please.
+ I'd like to add some more information to my previous e-mail.

I visited some international sites from BBC/Microsoft/Voice of  
America...etc
BBC has used the Lang tag: (The Lang tag is also to be used for  
accessibility and
helps search engines to list/find bilingual sites). Microsoft is also  
using it on
some of its bilingual sites(such as Microsoft/region/Turkey
::http://www.microsoft.com/turkiye/
::http://www.bbc.co.uk/persian/
But not on all it's international sections! (which doesn't make sense. if  
it is to be used
for one language why not for all foreign languages!)
I just thought maybe this info could help more.

thanks
Amir
