One problem is the verb 'known' which implies some knowledge on the part of some reader, i.e. the verb identifies an agent outside the scope of the specification. Perhaps it would be better to use a verb that talks about what the reader is told, rather than what they deduce or conclude? "identified as language [x]" "identified by the rules of the enclosing context as being in language [x]" (a bit wordy) "labeled as language [x]" (though some identification is not via 'labelling') David Singer Multimedia and Software Standards, Apple Inc.
