    <thetext>In http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-lang-and-xml:lang-attributes the use of &quot;xml:lang&quot; is confusing.

Please edit this section to talk about &quot;attribute with the local name &apos;lang&apos; in no namespace&quot;, &quot;attribute with the local name &apos;lang&apos; in the http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace namespace&quot; and &quot;attribute with the local name &apos;xml:lang&apos; in no namespace&quot;. This is particularly important for the passage starting &quot;To determine the language of a node&quot;.</thetext>
