[CSS21] response to issue 123

This is the CSS WG's response to an issue you raised on the last CSS
2.1 draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-CSS21-20030915). We want to
publish CSS 2.1 as a CR in about two weeks. Please let us know this
week if you think our response is wrong.

    Does ':lang()' match elements that have language set to the empty
    tag?

    It might be thought to match all languages, since in the absence
    of simple selectors, * is presumed, so it is conceivable that
    absence of a tag might be equivalent to all. It might also be
    deemed to be an error to have no tag inside the parens.

    So the spec should address the issue.

CSS WG response:
    :lang() is allowed, but undefined in CSS 2.1 (We'll define in
    CSS3)


For the CSS WG,
