MTCB> 1) Language of the intended audience MTCB> This should simply be named "primary language" of something similar. Chris> These are two quite different things, which is why they use different names. In http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-i18n-html-tech-lang-20060721/ There are only *two* language concepts (and I believe both concepts are required and that a third one is not required): 3.1 The language of the intended audience 3.2 The text-processing language I interpreted "language of the intended audience" as synonymous with "primary language" as in http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/NOTE-html-lan-19980313 By comparison to traditional paper publications, "language of the intended audience" (as synonymous with "primary language") means the language in which the publication actually *is*; nothing to do with intention. If the publication is intended for any particular audience (linguistic or other), it should be expressed in some metadata; e.g., <meta name="intention" content="ad usum Delphini" /> Regads Tomas ___________________________________________________________ Try the all-new Yahoo!
