Like I could make in the <html> element additions like bijvorrbeeld indicate that it is a Dutch site, and then like this: <html lang = "nl">

Yes the checkers I used told me I HAD to include the <html lang = "en">
Maybe this should be built into RSD?

The first lang tag only specifies a language code. The second specifies a language code, followed by a country code.

<html lang="en-US"> essentially means "this page is in the US style of English."

In a similar way, <html lang="en-GB"> would mean "this page is in the United Kingdom style of English."

Note - It doesn't help the browser to display the page, but it is useful for search engines, screen readers, and other things that might read and try to interpret the page, besides human beings.
