RE: XInclude and xml:lang

I think you are confusing the effect of xml:base and xml:lang with actual instances of the attribute.

The attributes xml:base and xml:lang do not get magically reproduced on all children,
thus your xpath is correctly not finding xml:lang on child elements where it was not explicitly added.

See: 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xml11/
Section 2.12
"A special attribute named xml:lang may be inserted in documents to specify the language used in the contents and attribute values of any element in an XML document."


Like xml:base this puts the burden on the processor to implement the inheritance of the *property* specified by xml:lang ... but does not physically add new attributes in the XML.

Subject: RE: XInclude and xml:lang


I have not understand why I obtain <bar xml:base="file.xml" xml:lang=""/>,
like this :

<foo xml:lang="fr" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">
  <bar xml:base="file.xml" xml:lang=""/>
 </foo> 

It's no very logic. 
For example, with XPath, //bar/xml:lang return something like this : ""; 
so what in fact, the langage's bar is "fr".

Why I haven't or can't obtain something like this :
<foo xml:lang="fr" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">
  <bar xml:base="file.xml"/>
 </foo> 

or this :

<foo xml:lang="fr" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">
  <bar xml:base="file.xml" xml:lang="fr"/>
 </foo> 

Thanks for your responce.
