    Why not make this required?  Are there any applications that would be
    harmed by always having an xml:lang attribute specified on source/target
    elements?  I argue that the converse is true and so would like to see
    xml:lang be a required attribute.
    
    infrastructure question:  could someone please arrange for the listserv
    to generate a Reply-To: header containing the address of the list?  This
    will enable us to hit "reply" instead of "reply all."  Since we're all
    on the list, this will avoid the transmission of duplicate postings.
