I'll note that 2277 goes on to say this:

   Note that this does NOT mean that such information must always be
   present; the requirement is that if the sender of information wishes
   to send information about the language of a text, the protocol
   provides a well-defined way to carry this information.

In other words, we could add an optional xs:lang, which the sender
could use... or not.

I'll note that "not" is far more likely than otherwise, and, while I
don't see an objection to providing the option, I can't imagine that
it will result in any practical difference: I doubt we'll see changes
in implementations to use it.
