    Hi. Why does one of the Priority 3 requirements of the Bobby Accessibility Guidelines (http://bobby.watchfire.com/) break XHTML 1.1 compliance? Here's the element that Bobby requires: <html lang="en">, but XHTML 1.1 breaks on this (http://validator.w3.org/). It's like you have to choose one or the other. Any thoughts?

    it is because you have to do it the xml way when doing xhtml. Instead of lang="da-DK" use xmllang="da-DK"
