--- Comment #1 from Michael Zajac <[email protected]> --- [I wish I could edit my bug, or at least preview. Have you guys heard of this “wiki” thing. Here’s a better-formatted version of my bug report.] Wikipedia and Wiktionary pages now have the HTML5 doctype <!doctype html>, and a root <html> tag with only a lang attribute. HTML5 doesn’t require the xml:lang attribute. According to the spec, “The attribute in no namespace with no prefix and with the literal local name "xml:lang" has no effect on language processing.” Source: http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110525/elements.html#the-lang-and-xml:lang-attributes But if you enter, e.g., <span lang="fr">fou<span> into a wiki page, the Wikitext parser will add a redundant and vestigial xml:lang attribute. The parser should stop adding the xml:lang attribute in pages that are HTML5 and not XML. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. You are the assignee for the bug.
