The Working Group discussed this issue today (14 December 2007) and agreed
that we do not want to change the xsd:language type to allow the empty string
as a value, and that we do want to add a note pointing out that xml:lang
does allow empty strings and thus needs a type like the one given in the 
schema document at http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd (a union of xsd:language
and an enumerated type with one value: the empty string).  

I'm marking the issue as 'decided', since the WG did not wish to review a
wording proposal, and 'needsDrafting'.
