xml:lang

Hello all, I promised I will be back with a proposal for xml:lang that we have so far neglected as the discussion concentrated on xml:space.

I believe that the following should be done

xml:lang defaults should be changed 

for source:

to value defined in srcLang on the xliff elemenet

for target:

Rationale:

Currently, people not defining xml:lang on source or target leave it undefined, which is clearly wrong

Adding a Constraint

xml:lang MUST NOT be set at core extension points.

Rationale:

Setting the value would conflict with srcLang and trgLang semantics

I am going to implement and print this before the meeting, please shout no later than in the meeting if you think this is wrong or you have a better solution

Cheers

dF
