  You can do that with @xml:lang too.

  Well, you're not using
a @lang anymore here :-)

  Of course, in a particular context, there can be
plenty of
reasons to use something else than an attribute, or something
else
than BCP 47.  And there is no reason trying to stick with
@xml:lang just to
use @xml:lang.  But if you create an attribute
to set a BCP 47 tag, then just
use @xml:lang...
