Please be more specific. What do you propose? I cannot see the point of this
support. What should be the default language of an arbitrary document?

Will it be the UI language? Or maybe the UI locale? If so, how to handle cases
when I (living in Russia) receive a document from a Japan colleague, and
convert it to PDF? Should it have Russian as default language?

Or should it be the language that is used in document? If so, how would you
select the default language for an English-Russian Dictionary of My Favorite
Idioms (it would contain roughly equal amount of both languages)?

Or should the default language be set only for those documents that contain
only one language? If so, will all other PDFs be standards-incompliant?

Or do you suggest a new UI control to select default language explicitly (say,
in Save As dialog)? (I myself would prefer that solution, after the program
made a heuristic guess, or give the last-used value in difficult cases).
