Yes, mcontent being None here would cause an issue. I will test for that case and skip it if empty.

Passing in the sigil user interface language here would be a real pain as this parsing is being done in python here. I am not sure if the user interface language or default python locale lang would be a good bet either as books can be of any language really.

Not sure what value to put here. Perhaps a translated string: UNSPECIFIED or some obvious filler value should be used to force the user to actually specify a valid language. Or force it to default to en.

The spec is very clear and states there must be a value.
