If all values of property foo are in Danish, and all values of prop bar are in Nihongo, no problem. But if one property contains values in multiple languages, this is a problem. We can't meaningfully compare values using the underlying languages, as such comparisons are undefined. Nor will it help to simply declare one language in the Content-Language header. This is why the DASL charter excludes such cross-language comparisons. I suppose this means we need to define the error code to be returned should this condition arise. I suppose 400 (Bad Request) should be used, unless there's need for a more specific code.
