As has been pointed out, you can use
Element.matchesSelector(":lang('en-us')") or XPath to test if a node
has a given language. However neither lets you actually *get* the
language of a node, just check if it matches a particular language.
Additionally, matchesSelector doesn't work on text nodes.
We already have baseURI. I suppose we could have another such thing.
"lang" is taken unfortunately. "language"? "naturalLang"? (Based on
<img>.naturalHeight/Width.)
I do not think its exact behavior should be defined in DOM4, but we can
certainly introduce the concept and say that other specifications define
it. E.g. HTML and XML.
