Sounds good. Thanks.

Well, I think "London" is in English (as well as some other
languages), and certainly would use 
  I live in the <placeName xml:lang="es">Estados Unidos</>
and
  Yo vivo en los <placeName xml:lang="en">United States</>

That said, I think you're right, this is a can of worms. We may want
to open it someday, but not now. I'll remove those xml:lang= attrs
in a few ...
