To answer the specific question of the language parameter - the answer is
that (X)HTML already defines the "lang" attribute on every element for this.

See for example the explanation in hCard authoring which also uses "lang":

Just now also added to http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar-faq

If there are any other specific questions (rather than a general theoretical
question :) we can address them accordingly.

Thanks,
