qa-no-language update

    JcK: calling out lang independent identifiers
    ... separately from part numbers, and such
    ... don't know how much to say there?

    richard: think my response would be "not trying to be
    exhaustive"
    ... if there were something you wanted to label
    ... how would you do it?
    ... you gave some good examples
    ... when marking up for language
    ... there are many reasons
    ... so for example if you have something in Chinese, you might
    want to mark as Chinese to get the right font
    ... or if you have a spell-checker and you don't want it to
    spell check specific things
    ... or maybe extract things in a language
    ... etc.
    ... and the first question is why you want to mark things up

    ... lots of info on where to place the "subtitle"
