Hi. I am faced with with content that shows three variants: 1. a transliteration of the phrase in Pidgin/Pinyin 2. The phrase as written with Chinese Simplified characters 3. An even more simple transliteration with English characters, but no accents etc.. The dialect of the language is Mandarin Question is how do I express most of the above with xml:lang so that software down the line (such as browsers) can do something useful with it? From what I've seen, one can be pretty descriptive in the attribute, but it is interesting what the tools support. I am happy with the middle ground such as "zh-Hans", but I would also want to differentiate between the different transliterations of the same phrase. Is that beyond the scope of xml:lang attribute? Regards, Lech
