CE Whitehead, Fri, 16 Apr 2010 17:02:48 -0400: > Why not publish your own test results for language = null? The HTMLwg should be aware of them. But it would great if the I18N WG also presented tests. Anyway, the subject of the empty xml:lang="" was discussed this week in the public-rdfa mailinglist. I highly recommend reading Johannes Koch's presentation of the status of the empty xml:lang="" attribute. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdfa/2010Apr/0009 It seems like in XHTML version 1, then the empty string was forbidden. :-) > I see that ie8 supports it!

Not a typo. A test. It tests whether the UA obey *its* law. It is for the Web page *authors* to obey the requirement to use *meaningful* language tags. -- leif halvard silli
