> 	Now, if by any reason I feel the needing to indicate that my message was wrote in this or that particular language, what is the point with an empty (blank) value? If so, then I don't need to use the lang attribute at all. An empty value, IMHO, should raise an error to alert the sender that he is missing something.

But if the xml:lang attribute has already been used on an enclosing element,
it is by default applicable to inner elements as well.  A method is needed
to indicate that the inner element has no language information.

To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all.  There are
no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language that
they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful. --The Hobbit
