<header> includes <language> to identify the language of the document 
itself.  There can actually be multiple <language> elements, possibly to 
indicate different languages used in the text or to indicate language of 
the original vs. the present translation.

The lang attribute (hopefully to be replaced by xml:lang) appears on 
nearly every element.

languageType isn't an element or an attribute, it's the type used to 
validate the values of both <language> and lang.  It should follow RFC 
3066 exactly.

Those schema docs are the best we have at the moment.  Troy told me that 
better documentation has been worked on & possibly completed, but it's not 
released yet.  Perhaps it will come out after the meeting in a couple 
weeks.
