Chaps, I have once more gone through http://www.w3.org/International/geo/html-tech/tech-lang.html today, and I feel happy about removing the term 'primary language' in favour of 'language of the intended audience' (or similar). I would like to bring closure to this. Please look through the text (look for change marks) and tell me if you see any problems. I will take silence for assent and will assume that everyone is happy if I don't hear otherwise by Wednesday a.m. (UK). I also made some editorial improvements, and a couple of significant changes to the document: 1. I moved some of the text that was buried in a best practise to what is now section 4.2. I think this constitutes a major improvement to the document. 2. I turned these headings: How to declare the text-processing language -> Using attributes to declare the text-processing language How to specify primary language metadata -> Using metadata to specify the language of the intended audience I think this is much better from the user's point of view (esp. in the techniques index) since we can't expect them to know the difference between text-processing and primary language - nor to care much. But they will be interested in how they should use attributes. 3. I edited, and in one case rewrote, some best practises in light of changes in RFC 3066bis. 4. I tweaked the "How to ..." headings, since these are no longer techniques. Please also comment on these changes, if you feel the need, in the same timeframe.
