This seems at the wrong level to me. I'm not sure what would
happen if you hacked James' style sheet DTD and added the
definition of %default-language% (which I did make up).
But, it wouldn't be unreasonable, I suppose, to create different
customization layers on top of my stylesheets that did just this.
Except they're never referred to by public identifier except by
other customization layers, so I'm not sure I see the point
exactly.
It seems clever, but I don't quite see how it's supposed to work.
Cheers,
