Just out of curiousity, is this example typical usage? Overriding HTML's
lang attribute with an xml:lang? It seems this would only apply XHTML 1.0 as
1.1 removes the lang attribute and HTML 4.01 didn't have xml:lang. This
example seems to show a good area for confusion. I am not sure this is an
argument against an erratum, just an observation. If/when there is an
example published in 1.1 or an erratum can we get that first "lang" changed
to "xml:lang"?

Thanks!
