Hi, John, Just thought I'd look at your comments-- so then I looked at the draft, and I started wondering could not you also turn off the existing language declaration with "und"?? rather than with "" So then why is it better to use "" where you could use "und"? You cannot leave out the declaration in such a case, because of course, the language is declared for the document as a whole and/or for higher elements in the document hierarchy, so what would be preferable to use lang="" or lang="und" and why? Thanks. --C. E.
