I think I have discovered a bug in ASP.NET, related to I18N.

In ASP.NET 3.5 I have to set runat="server" on the html element to use explicit expressions. It appears that ASP.NET
eats the xml:lang attribute on the html element when it is set to runat="server".

Of course I want to replace the hardcoded "en-US" values with (resource) explicit expressions; but, for simplicity,
try this:

<html runat="server" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en-US" lang="en-US" dir="ltr">

...And you will find that no xml:lang attribute is rendered to the browser! Remove the runat="server", and, voila,
the xml:lang attribute is rendered. :[

...Any ideas?

Cordially,
Lee
