So let me make sure I understand. The for most English Bibles the header 
will have <language>en</language>, and for the most part the lang 
attribute will go unused. But could be used in Mark 15:34 around "Eloi, 
Eloi, Lama Sabachthani" might have <foo lang="heb">Eloi ...</foo>

For what it is worth my understanding of xml:lang from 
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-lang-tag would lead me to think it 
should replace both <language> and lang="..."

Thanks,
