In the current version, WordPress outputs either 'lang' or 'xml:lang' attribute in the html tag.
But W3C Recommendation require both attributes when specifying the language of an element.

I know those tickets.
However I think there were insufficient.
Although WordPress declares 'XHTML 1.0 Transitional' at the DOCTYPE declaration, it doesn't follow W3C Recommendation.
My attached patch changes the default output from 'html' into 'xhtml' in 'language_attributes()' function.
With this slight patch, you can enhance the compatibility with the recommendation.

hmm xhtml does not really work for websites, we should stick with html per default. it just feels better without the x.

Doesn't WordPress aim for XHTML? http://codex.wordpress.org/HTML_to_XHTML
see #5393, #8745
If the html_type option is set to anything other than text/html, both attributes will be output.
