xml:lang does not work because it belongs to the XML namespace. This is documented here: http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/limitations.html#limitations --- Conditional processing ... * Any attribute whose name does not belong to a namespace, that is, not only audience, platform, product, rev, otherprops and props, can be used to filter or flag an element. --- However because the XML namespace is guaranteed to be always defined, we'll try to remove this limitation in the patch release we intend to release in the next few days.
