Thanks, looking forward to it. Always interested in getting real-life examples of these rarely discussed edge cases. I always forget about Dictionaries (since I rarely ever use them when reading ebooks).

It is also perfectly valid HTML/XHTML.
A lot of code like this is laying groundwork for future tools/readers and definitely doesn't hurt to include.
But there
are current tools that can take advantage of properly marked lang... like Calibre's Multi-Language Spellchecking (and hopefully Sigil too when that finally gets implemented).
Hmmm... speaking of Spellcheckers, are there any Grammar Checkers that take into account lang as well? Or do they typically only work on a global scale? (Check entire document as English, then check entire document as Spanish.)
