We're using XML Schema within MPEG-7 to define descriptions of audiovisual 
cotent. Certain descriptive elements have a language attribute. For 
consistency, we'd like to use the xml:lang attribute.

Does this need to be declared like any other attribute for the elements to 
which it applies? For example:

<complexType name="FrameAnnotation">
     <element name="Who" type="string" minOccurs="0"/>
     <element name="What" type="string" minOccurs="0"/>
....
     <attribute ref="xml:lang"/>
</complexType>
     
I assume that we also need to import the xml namespace?
If so, where is this located?
