Hi Paul,

1. The dita root element does not have any attributes, and we did not want
to add xml:lang to it without in-depth design analysis. To keep things
minimalistic for the 1.1 release, we chose to keep it where previous DITA
releases allow it.

2. The best practice recommendation is that xml:lang should be set in the
DITA XML files. However, we don't expect the users to explicitly set it.
Usually the authoring/translation tool will set the xml:lang attribute on
behalf of the user.


Best Regards,
Gershon
