RE: [dita] Clarification needed on whether xml:lang is required


Concur on both points. This might have been written before the ATC got started. The attribute description at 3.4.1.6 "localization-atts attribute group" punts to the XML spec. The XML spec doesn't talk about this as either advice or requirement. It does give some interesting examples that DITA specializers could consider, and that the ATC might elaborate. Elsewhere in 2.1.3.9.1 "The @xml:lang attribute" we say that the top element "should" set this attribute, and that applications "should" ensure that this is done. Should we beef this up, Gershon? I think we punted the "must" talk to the ATC. /B >
