[[
Both xml:lang and MARC alpha 3 language codes are used. You should pick
one. xml:lang is easier to refer to normatively, because ISO
publication normative references can be problematic for implementors due
to cost. Perhaps Martin Duerst has a comment on this.

As Leigh mentioned, xml:lang is easier to refer to, and so has been chosen.
