4.2.7.4 The "hreflang" Attribute
The "hreflang" attribute's content describes the language of the

4.2.7.6 The "length" Attribute
The "length" attribute indicates an advisory length of the linked
content in octets; it is a hint about the content length of the
representation returned when the IRI in the href attribute is mapped
to a URI and dereferenced.

I believe "the language of the resource" for hreflang makes no sense -
it will be the *representations* that are associated with languages,
I think that's being way too picky. It makes sense that content (the
generic term) might have a language associated with it.
and "the" implies a single language - there may be more than one.
That's true. And it matches the XML 1.0 spec exactly.
