(Keywords: access, Whiteboard: [bcp47]) 

Right now, our code basically exposes what either the markup or the headers tell us. So if the author writes "dumdoolittle" as a lang attribute value, we'll just expose that without checking for validity.

We should expose a value conforming to RFC 4646 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4646.txt) and RFC 4647 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4647.txt) and parse out/unify any invalid or bloated values.
The doc http://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/ and our implementation of IAccessible2 might be helpful as well.
