| Yes, this is a correct way to get language for current element. The
| problem is, that in lang attribute of xsl:sort you can't use expressions
| (AVTs) if you want to be strictly comform to the XSLT 1.0 spec. Some
| processors support this, but it can't be added to standard distribution
| for this reason. :-(

Uhm, lang looks like an AVT in 1.0 to me...

  <xsl:sort
    select = string-expression
    lang = { nmtoken }
    data-type = { "text" | "number" | qname-but-not-ncname }
    order = { "ascending" | "descending" }
    case-order = { "upper-first" | "lower-first" } /> 

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
