Responder Rule assumptionsComments
Kasper Isager Dalsgarð Yes
Wilco Fiers No. I have opened an issue in GitHub or have documented my comments below. - I have some concerns about failing elements that do not have any content in them. An empty span with an incorrect lang attribute doesn't seem like it should fail this rule.

- The assumption is a bit confusing. It's too generic to be meaningful.
Kathy Eng No. I have opened an issue in GitHub or have documented my comments below. Update with assumptions from https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/pull/1106/files
Jey Nandakumar Yes
Charu Pandhi I don't know. My questions are documented below. As per H58 only the primary lang code is required and conform to BCP 47, the subcode is optional. I think the assumptions should mentioned that.
Trevor Bostic Yes

4. Implementation data

Is the implementation data correct?

Responder Implementation dataComments
Kasper Isager Dalsgarð Yes
Wilco Fiers Yes
Kathy Eng No. I have opened an issue in GitHub or have documented my comments below. This one should pass. Refer to latest edit of page has valid language subtag (https://github.com/act-rules/act-rules.github.io/pull/1106)

Failed Example 2 - The lang attribute value has a valid primary language subtag, but a syntactically invalid region subtag.
<html>
<body>
<p lang="en-US-GB"></p>
</body>
</html>
Jey Nandakumar Yes
Charu Pandhi I don't know. My questions or comments are documented below. As per H58 only the primary lang code is required and conform to BCP, the subcode is optional and so should the rule be checking that? Failed example 2 actually should be passing.
Trevor Bostic I don't know. My questions or comments are documented below. Failed examples 1 and 3 are very similar. They both are non-empty lang tags that fail due to an invalid primary language subtag

5. Consistent with WCAG

Responder Consistent with WCAGComments
Kasper Isager Dalsgarð Yes
Wilco Fiers I don't know. My questions or comments are documented below. There's an issue about it here. Thomas has a good point here, but I think the problem is with the WCAG technique, not the rule:

Kathy Eng Yes
Jey Nandakumar Yes
Charu Pandhi I don't know. My questions or comments are documented below. As per H58 only the primary lang code is required and conform to BCP, the subcode is optional
Trevor Bostic Yes
