Yup. I start to think that lang="" should also be allowed in XML  
documents. xml:lang is nice, but if you don't have knowledge of the HTML  
namespace knowing the language of certain constructs isn't that valuable.  
It would also make HTMLElement.lang useful for XML documents...

(And user agents have to support and support this stuff already too.)
