Description freemant 2004-08-09 11:15:33 UTC
Environment: English OOo in Chinese (Taiwan) Windows 98.

1. Create a new HTML document in Writer.
2. Click the "view source" icon.
3. The code is like:

<BODY LANG="" DIR="LTR">
<P><FONT FACE="Arial"><SPAN LANG="en-US">testing</SPAN></FONT></P>
</BODY>

The empty LANG attribute will make the document invalid according to the W3C
HTML validator (http://validator.w3c.org).

If you have set "None" in all fields under Tools - Options - Languages Settings
- Languages, the LANG attribute will be empty yes. This because no language is
set and the LANG attribute has no default (see HTML specification).

One could think about avoiding to write a LANG attribute in this case.

Because this attribute is not mandatory and gives just an information to the
HTML client, I setz it P5.
