If you must specify a lang tag then lang="und" not xml:lang="und".
Try running the w3 validator and it croaks with the xml:lang tag
in there as it is not valid.

And if the reason for supplying it is to prevent the higher level
from propagating, then you dont need it on every element. Just on
a <div> that surrounds the pod.
