data.language is used by
Class:
att.global/@xml:lang
att.pointing/@targetLang

Element:
langKnowledge/@tags
langKnown/@tag
language/@ident
schemaSpec/@targetLang
schemaSpec/@docLang
textLang/@mainLang
textLang/@otherLangs


In most cases I think these should be the same as whatever we 
decide for xml:lang so on the face of it I'm still in the 'go 
ahead' camp.
