Peter Moulder wrote, in bug 15174 comment 2: Btw, in elements.html (section 3.2.3.3 The lang and xml:lang elements), the text "if none of the ancestors" is presumably not exactly correct, and should probably be changed to "if neither the node nor any of its ancestors". (I'm not sure that that suggested text is actually an improvement (given that the intent should already clear from two paragraphs up, and given certain conceivable misunderstandings of that suggested replacement text), though it is displeasing that the existing text says something other than what's meant.)
This bug was cloned to create bug 17817 as part of operation convergence.
