Is it? I frequently look up at 
http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry (with deep 
apologies to Richard for not using his tool 
http://rishida.net/utils/subtags/index.php ;-))

So might a user whose screenreader might use the information that 
keywords and values are in English.

Complete stylesheet my intention not was. ;-)
