Given
<fooSpec ident="xxx">
<altIdent>yyy</altIdent>
</fooSpec>
we expect to generate a "foo" declaration for something called yyy
However, given
<fooSpec ident="xxx">
<altIdent>yyy</altIdent>
<altIdent xml:lang="xx">zzz</altIdent>
</fooSpec>
we will generate a "foo" declaration for something called zzz iff we
are producing a schema in language xx, and one for yyy otherwise.
Is overloading xml:lang in this way preferable to having an explicit
attribute on the <altIdent> which says "use ME" ? (Note that the current
scheme gives us no way of saying "here's another name for this element
in some language but don't use it")
