Absolutely - I'm asking for help to correct this bias. If anyone can
contribute examples from the web of documents in one language citing
another language, that would help provide evidence for a language
field in hCite.

If there are no such examples, we could just say that the citations
are assumed to be in the same language, and remove the language field
(potentially revisiting it for later revisions of the microformat).
