See bug 13393 (which states that, for a Polyglot document, the following should be conforming - despite Polyglot Markup's preoccupation with equal DOM: <foo lang="en-us" xml:lang="EN-US" >color</foo> Formally, since the spec points to BCP 47, it should already be clear. But if it is necessary to underline that srclang='en-US' and srclang='EN-US' (and other casing variants) are equal (as they are), then the spec should underline the same issue for the @lang and xml:@lang attributes too. 56279 2 xn--mlform-iua 2011-09-04 11:35:36 +0000 (In reply to comment #0) > zh-min-nan vs nan, zh-TW vs zh-Hant-TW This, of course, is a different problem, and more difficult (for me) to answer. But as a video could very well have both an 'en-CA' track and a 'en-GB' and a 'en' track, they would all be seen as different. 58488 3 ian 2011-10-19 23:52:12 +0000 Does BCP47 not adequately define whether two languages are the same? 58845 4 ian 2011-10-25 03:26:53 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
