Of course, this would have to be planned for .9 or something as it would be a breaking change for .85.

Sure, there's interest for this. I wouldn't add a new attribute though. Let's just change the existing Language property (language attribute) to take a string. Have a look at the <script> task as we do exactly the same there. The <asminfo> task should probably also support setting named attribute arguments (using a nested <argument> type).
