That file has two streams of linguistic content, each of which could be
tagged: "fr" for one, "en" for the other. The file as a whole contains
content in two languages, and would face no greater issue for tagging
than any other bilingual document. In principle, a server might be able
to return this content in response to a request for either "en" or "fr".
If a user wishes to request specifically *audio* that is in French, then
the protocol for content negotiation would need to distinguish between
modalities for which linguistic attributes are specified.

There is no difficulty whatsoever creating language tags appropriate for
this file. The only issues have to do with the metadata categories used
for content in a given application context and negotiation mechanisms
that make reference to those categories -- all of which is beyond the
scope of the current projects of this WG.
