If so, how about the following "use-age":
""" should we use _the_ language declarations _of the_ HTTP
headers and _the_ meta _element_, and how _is that_
different from _using the_ language attributes? """
Why: It is the HTTP headers/meta elements which eventually perform
the language declarations, hence it does not make sense to say "use
language declarations _in_ HTTP headers and meta elements".
Another alternative:
""" should we _send_[*] language declarations _using_ HTTP headers
and meta elements, and how _is that_ different from _using the_
language attributes? """
[*] May be "declare languages using" instead of "send language
declarations". However, we often say that we send HTTP headers
and "send" also implies that it is about the entire document,
which is an important point in the article.
