Re: question on issue-110 (xml:lang vs. lang)

Everyone this test file now has been added here:
https://github.com/finnle/ITS-2.0-Testsuite/blob/master/its2.0/inputdata/languageinformation/html/languageinfo4html.html
.
I will add the output soon. So issue-110 can be closed for Ankit.

Cheers,
Leroy
