Can there (should there) be a health warning that @lang is expected here? 67456 1 ian 2012-05-08 00:30:40 +0000 Do we really expect people to give it? 67461 2 addison 2012-05-08 00:41:12 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > Do we really expect people to give it? We expect people to give it elsewhere. Providing it here give a hint to the user agent when drawing the browser's title bar or the tab title which can improve the font choices/render quality, especially if the title element doesn't match the language of the <html> element. 67569 3 ian 2012-05-10 17:53:23 +0000 I can certainly add a note encouraging people to specify it. I doubt it'll have any effect though. 70205 4 contributor 2012-07-18 07:08:56 +0000 This bug was cloned to create bug 17867 as part of operation convergence. 76245 5 silviapfeiffer1 2012-10-14 12:39:49 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
