I somehow imagined that people would've thought about it, but why I forgot about the 'lang' attribute is beyond me... Silly wabbit! Hmmm, thanks for that Tantek.

Especially your hReview of hReview. It was and is a collaborative effort among many reviews experts from many companies, and I'm only fortunate enough to work with some of the best. What you see is the result of all their expertise. As far as you question/suggestion of a way to indicate the language that the review is written in, you are absolutely right. There needs to be such a mechanism. Fortunately, because <a href="http://developers.technorati.com/wiki/MicroFormats" rel="nofollow">microformats</a> are built from semantic XHTML building blocks, language support is already built-in via the standard (X)HTML 'lang' attribute. However, this detail is not made clear in the spec, and so therefore is something that we should point out explicitly in the next draft. Thanks very much for your input. <a href="http://tantek.com/log/" rel="nofollow">Tantek</a> dda,
