If you specify an xml:lang attribute in the html tag, do you still have to use a meta tag to specify the content-language for the document?
You are not required to add the content-language tag to your document. If your need to focus upon a specific language for categorization and optimization, you may use this. So, search engines may use the content-language to categorize your documents based upon language you may. I do not know of any tests performed recently to validate the use of the tag. If your document is American English I would recommend not using it. Don't foregut your HTML to Content ratios.
