But the very thing, to be able to specify mul-en-fr on other elements than the root element, seems meaningful to me. Does that sound better? But otherwise, even for xml:lang, there is no principle diff between xml:lang="mul" - which I guess isn't forbidded - and xml:lang="mul-en-fr". -- leif halvard silli _______________________________________________ Ltru mailing list Ltru at ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ltru
