Description Don Brutzman 2010-01-03 19:02:14 UTC 
3.2.3.3 The lang and xml:lang attributes

A few paragraphs appear to have extraneous <hr> elements
inserted before the <p>, which makes vertical spacing inconsistent.

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?
Comment 2 Don Brutzman 2010-01-26 07:14:04 UTC 
the change isn't distracting and is editorially sound, it was only reported in case it was an inadvertent inconsistency.  concur.
