Correction: I now notice that the exported format is "XHTML 1.1 plus 
MathML 2.0" (which does not support the lang attribute), not XHTML 
1.0 (where lang was still allowed). From my point of view 
accessibility is more important than that little validation issue, so 
I would still argue in favour of keeping the lang attribute.

Oops, sorry, I was comparing XSLT code with XHTML code.
The XSLT code already outputs xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

Best regards,
