The spec tells us:
If both the xml:lang attribute and the lang attribute are set, user
agents must use the xml:lang attribute, and the lang attribute must be
ignored for the purposes of determining the element's language.
While the requirement for authors is pretty clear (HTML: lang; XHTML:
xml:lang), it seems to me that the user agent is asked to always favour
xml:lang even in an HTML context. Is this really what's intended? I
think this ought to be clarified.
