Oh. As I said, I haven't read the posts that lead up to this, but I
had (perhaps completely incorrectly) been presuming that the choice
was between changing decls so that either

a) attribute xml:lang { data.langauge | "" }
OR
b) data.language = xsd:language | ""

I.e., not asking whether xml:lang= should allow empty values (of
course it should), but whether or not the *other* things that are
declared as data.language should allow empty values, too. (I'll have
to look and see what I think.)
