If both the xml:lang attribute and the lang attribute are set, user agents must use the xml:lang attribute, and the lang attribute must be ignored for the purposes of determining the element's language.

While the requirement for authors is pretty clear (HTML: lang; XHTML: xml:lang), it seems to me that the user agent is asked to always favour xml:lang even in an HTML context. Is this really what's intended? I think this ought to be clarified.

Okay, so if I understand well, xml:lang in the spec refers to the "lang" attribute in the "xml" namespace, not to the "xml:lang" attribute in the null namespace that you get with the HTML parser. It makes sense from a DOM perspective, but it's misleading from a markup perspective, so I still think it should be clarified.

And although it's less confusing, I think the same should be clarified about xml:id: it's the "id" attribute in the "xml" namespace, not the "xml:id" attribute in the null namespace that you get with the HTML parser.
