XHTML 1.1 and XHTML+RDFa 1.0 forbid the lang attribute on their elements. Instead, the xml:lang attribute is used.

CSS :lang pseudoclass seems to only recognize the lang attribute.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an XHTML 1.1 or XHTML+RDFa 1.0 file and put an xml:lang attribute on it and a link to a CSS file

2. Create a CSS file using the :lang pseudoclass

3. View the XHTML 1.1 or XHTML+RDFa 1.0 file
Actual Results:  
The xml:lang attribute is ignored.

Expected Results:  
The xml:lang attribute on elements in XHTML 1.1 and XHTML+RDFa 1.0 should be taken into account when rendering the CSS
Works fine for me.  Please reopen if you attach a file that shows the problem.
