Unfortunately, the study Google did on Web authors showed that authors
cannot spell the word "language", and I see no reason to believe that
they might spell "gauge" either.
But unlike the almost entirely useless "language" attribute, gauge will
actually have a noticeable result in future browsers and so if it's
typed incorrectly, the author would not see the result and, hopefully,
go and fix it. Whereas if they mistype language, they won't notice the
error until they validate.
i second this, being English i have gotten used to American spellings,
such as color (and in terms of quake modding: armor), which means my
kids are going to get into some serious bother when they get to spelling
classes at school :-) but if i can do that I'm sure i can learn to spell
guage as, er, gauge.
will throw in my alternative anyway:
