Let me give the answer that Andreas didn't add:

Resetting the formatting of a text does not touch its language attribute by
intent. The language of a text is not a "formatting" as e.g. its font weight,
it's something that depends on the actual text. So if I have a French sentence
with "bold" formatting and "hard" language attribute set, removing the "hard
formatting" should indeed remove the "bold" attribute, but there is no sense in
setting the language attribute to the default value (e.g. English) also, as the
text is still in French.

For the perfectionists amongst us we perhaps should add a "set to document
default language" function, though I don't see any real practical reason for 
that.
IMHO language attributes should never have been added to any styles, they are a
kind of meta data, not a formatting attribute. 

I know that people use it to have language dependent styles but this is just a
hack because we don't have conditional styles like that and so people use that
trick as a workaround. It doesn't make it right.

So currently I can't give a hint how we will solve that, we're not finished yet.
