    <thetext>3.2.3.3 The lang and xml:lang attributes

A few paragraphs appear to have extraneous &lt;hr&gt; elements
inserted before the &lt;p&gt;, which makes vertical spacing inconsistent.</thetext>

Status: Did Not Understand Request
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: The spacing is intentional, it delimits related paragraphs (first the author rules, then the processing rules, then two short self-contained paragraphs concerning what a UA can do with the information and the DOM API). Is it more distracting than helpful?</thetext>

    <thetext>the change isn&apos;t distracting and is editorially sound, it was only reported in case it was an inadvertent inconsistency.  concur.</thetext>
