Book titles and the language they are in are not always identical. In  
general, messing with the meaning of @lang is tricky, as UAs may take  
that as a hint to use a different encoding.

Brian, I'm not seeing @lang in the hCard or hCalendar specs on the  
wiki. Or did you mean by in-use that lang has been used on hCards in  
the wild to mark up language information about the element (eg a name)  
semantically.
