What's the benefit of this very specific and seemingly limited [att|=val] selector:

	[lang|="en"] { /* properties */ }

Over this combination of more extensible selectors?

	[lang="en"], [lang^="en-"] { /* properties */ }

If there is no real benefit, should it be dropped from the selectors module? If there is a benefit, please consider adding a note to the draft explaining the benefit.

Thanks,
James
