Of course, if there was a tag for 'foreign language word' then the

Not a tag, at least.
Perhaps the most semantic solution in the above example would be to
wrap
the word in a span with a class assigned, like so:
HTML:
<p> We say "yes", but the French say <span class="foreignWord">"Oui"</
span></p>
<p lang="en">We say "yes", but the French say <span lang='fr'>"Oui"</
span></p>
CSS:
.foreignWord {font-style: italic;}
[lang] { font-style: italic; }
[lang=en] { font-style: normal; }
