Except names in non-Latin writing systems are read out as “unpronounceable.”
Adding lang attributes would enable a number of these, including Chinese,
Greek, Hindi, Indonesian, Korean, Russian, and Thai. List of supported

It's remarkable, but right and proper, that this is now mainstream technology,
in hundreds of millions of devices in people's hands. We support MathML for
Professor Fizzbunkle. Hooray. Let's try to support reading text and following
