Chrome supports this.

[Cameron McCormack (:heycam)]

SVG 1.1 uses xml:lang="" for declaring the language of text content, and lang="" just for declaring what language a particular SVG Font glyph is for.  I'll file an issue for SVG 2 to use lang="" rather than xml:lang="".

Still need tests, but this works. (The fact that selector matching doesn't use the nsStyleFont struct caught me out for a while, but I figured it out.)

> The fact that selector matching doesn't use the nsStyleFont struct...

By which I mean the code for ePseudoClass_lang in nsCSSRuleProcessor.cpp uses GetLang(), not an nsStyleFont...hence the change to nsIContent.h in the patch.
