Subj: Re: FYI: <LANG> tags for HTML?
Mike:
The ICADD LANG tag doesn't help here, in a way, because it doesn't
exist in HTML, which seems to be where it is wanted by this person.
The HTML approach is more general, because it allows *any* element (or
nearly any element -- I haven't checked just now) to specify LANG=xx
on an attribute, where xx is the ISO two-chracter name for a language.
The poster is wrong about the SGML-rule (sic) being broken by
BLOCKQUOTE. The default SGML declaration establishes an 8-character
limit, but HTML uses its own declaration and re-sets that limit,
which is completely legal.
