I think David's issue with xml:lang concerns mapping Atom entries to, say, an RDBMS. I think he feels it will be challenging to store with that requirement. For instance, what does it mean to include an xml:lang declaration on atom:updated?
Clearly, it means nothing, and such an occurrence can safely be ignored or discarded. What am I missing? -Tim
I'm not too fussed about the outcome either way, but one problem seems to be this - when it means nothing isn't specified.
[I'm not sure we should spend a lot of time coping with fact that xml:lang isn't a universally applicable attribute for syndication markup.]
