I checked - xxe does support xml:lang in the spell checker, and the
manual gives examples of it:
[[
Except, in span containing "le petit cha est mort" where attribute
xml:lang has been set to fr. This means that for that element only, the
default language, English, is ignored and that a French dictionary will
be used.
 
In the above screen shot, notice that the actual language of span "le
petit cha est mort", fr, is displayed at the top/right of the Spell
tool.
