No idea. The default RSS feed templates don't even *contain* a placeholder language tag. You can't set it through the admin options, you have to manually edit the PHP file to add it. In WP 1.2, the comments feed does use a parameter called rss_language which is left over from an older version. This parameter, and the calls to it, are already gone from CVS. I've just downloaded a new copy of the 1.2 source (my own files are hacked up too much to verify what I remember changing) and a nightly build for comparison. I've found that in 1.2 the Atom template also uses rss_language, but again this is gone from CVS. So, at present, RSS feeds (both 0.92 and 2.0) make no claim, but Atom and comments feeds will claim rss_language. Future versions of Wordpress, or sites running off the development tree, won't even make those claims without manual editing. It seems the WP devs found the not-quite-removed data, and removed it, preferring to make no claim unless the user chose to. > it's not in the > *missing* language tag, it's in the *incorrect* language tag (e.g., > feed # 220922). That's the site's comments feed. Whether it should be included once fixed is an editorial choice, but a quick search for other feeds on the same site turns up feed 206219, which contains the site's actual posts, and does not have a language tag at all. By this definition, at least, it is more correct. -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> $4.98 domain names from Yahoo!.
