Re: Planned support for lang attribute?

I'm curious if there are any plans to add support for the HTML 4.0 "lang" attribute to WebCore in the near future.

We'd definitely like to take advantage of the lang attribute. Other browsers also seem to make font choices based on encodings, which works well for legacy pages that don't have lang attributes, but use non-Unicode language-specific encodings.


This is more than just a WebCore change. The WebCore part is the easiest part, in fact. The tricky bit is the font lookup, which is in WebKit.

I can't make any promises about when we'll do this, but we're definitely planning on getting to it in the future.
