[edit] xml:lang in SXML

The attribute xml:lang is not correctly specified in section Example according to the SXML specification. In fact, the specification is unclear how to do this: a quote from the section Annotations:

Genuine, semantic attributes provide ancillary description of the corresponding
XML element, e.g.,

    <weight units='kg'>16</weight>
On the other hand, attributes such as xmlns, xml:prefix, xml:lang and xml:space
are auxiliary, or being used by XML itself. The XML Recommendation distinguishes
auxiliary attributes by their prefix xml. SXML groups all such auxiliary
attributes into a @-tagged list inside the attribute list.

However, the specification only defines namespaces as a @-tagged list inside the attribute list. So I am at a loss how to represent xml:lang in SXML. 89.132.104.98 (talk) 13:03, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
