I'm working on a small project (I18N aware braille) where I'd thought to use xml:lang on the root element to define a language+country specific variant of the content. Easy for most usage: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/IntlIntro/ seems to point me in the right direction, and is based on iso639 and iso3166, having 'variant' as a possible further extension (not sure how that might apply to xml:lang). My problem arises with UEBC, http://www.iceb.org/ubc.html which defines a braille format applicable to most of the English speaking world. Is this a reasonable interpretation for xml:lang='en' ? Then I have a tactile variant on Braille, Moon. http://www.moonliteracy.org.uk/ This is en-GB specific, but how might xml:lang encompass this? Any suggestions appreciated. regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk
