Joseph, it might be worth reminding the developers that English may not be the first language for every screen reader user in an English speaking country (for example) and some of these people will use their first language (Spanish for example) as the default language for their technology. In this case, if there is no lang="en", all the 'English' will sound strange and with some languages incomprehensible.
