Re: SC 3.1.2 lang exception: proper names

Hi Jeff,
Why do you mention web developers? We're talking about *parts* to consider
for lang-attribution. These are mainly published in the main-content, which
is mostly edited by people who are confirm with the materia, they are
talking about. So mostly they won't need no further research to know about
the language of the nemes, they use.
And if the part is inside the technical framework, e.g. as link in a nav,
the language declaration would apply to a whole webside. So this small
effort could be reasonable.
Wolfgang

No. I am thinking of situations where the Web developer does not have
background information about the name Perhaps they can do a Web search to
determine the relevant nation and language.
