This is all described in HTML 4.01:
<URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/struct/dirlang.html >:
An element inherits language code information according to
the following order of precedence (highest to lowest):
* The lang attribute set for the element itself.
* The closest parent element that has the lang attribute set
(i.e., the lang attribute is inherited).
* The HTTP "Content-Language" header (which may be configured
in a server).
* User agent default values and user preferences.
(Though I disagree that the user agent's or OS's language/locale
settings should be used.)
