| Sure. But we are taking our inspiation from / sawing lumps off the draft
| HTML 3.0 spec, which has. Or at least that is what most people were quoting
| excerpts from.

| lumps of HTML 3.0 bolted on, right?

No, 2.0 progresses by adding newly approved I-Ds, which describe lumps
that may or may not have anything to do with 3.0. 3.0 has no privileged
status.

The only piece we're talking about here is a LANG att, and
wrt 2.0, not 3.0.
