Thinking deeper about the above said, it looks, like this is not an issue of webkit any longer. The example of Chromium shows that locl is applied, just not the correct one because the browser doesn’t handle the lang-attribute correctly.

I think, we have to look into the browsers we use and file bugs at their trackers.

I did so for Chromium here: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=224170
