Description

A lot of theme designers start with the files for Classic or Default themes when creating their theme files.

The language_attributes() in both themes is used with the default 'html' value even though the documents specifically have xhtml DOCTYPEs.

I have searched the internet in hopes of correcting this issue, but it all starts here. language_attributes('xhtml') should be used with xhtml doctypes.

I have attached a diff file with a patch for Classic and for Default.
