The purpose of the Pace is to define the set of "language sensitive constructs". The quoted sentence requires implementations to preserve the in-scope language tag for those elements, with the implication that the language tag is not significant for non-language-sensitive elements, and therefore need not be preserved. The purpose of the Pace isn't to ensure that databases don't lose language tags: it is to licence databases and other models to not preserve language tags where they are not meaningful. Without this, the implication is that all elements are language sensitive. -- Dave
