The claim that "und" and "" mean the same thing is wrong, and I apologize
for spreading misinformation on this point.  "" is the same as no language
declaration at all, so it is ambiguous between "zxx" (non-linguistic)
and "und" (linguistic).  The only time it makes sense to use it is when
you have a language declaration for a document or section thereof and wish
to turn it off for some subsection.
