xml:lang

mail about the topic: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/2005JulSep/0102.html

AP: Describes the xmllang issue
... we have talked to qt people to make sure that they recognize the scope problem
... in the faq, there is a sidebare which says: be careful that xml:lang has scope
... we have been said that could create problems during xml, e.g. as you merge elements

e.g. what to do with elements which have no xml:lang element, but are inside one with xml:lang?

ri: we have the same problem with RDF

ap: right
... my reaction: I said to Sandy that he is right, and that we paid attention to this in the past

ap: put that please into a new wiki
