[MOBY-dev] the use-case for xml:lang

[Paul Gordon]

Some services are registered in other languages for their free-text 
descriptions for example.  In some places (I can't remember where 
exactly at the moment), the registry assumes that the description is 
English and uses the xml:lang tag to say so when returning XML.  It's 
probably a good idea to have the xml:lang in the returned info, but it 
should maintain the xml:lang tag used to register the service.
