For example this <a href="http://www.termbases.eu/terminology/?oid=30270" title="Dental Technique Terminology" rel="nofollow">multilingual dictionary</a>, there are terms and definitions in 2 languages and i have defined languages for both. lang="de" xml:lang="de" and lang="et" xml:lang="et". And the default language of the page (defined in "html" tag) is still "en". The “lang” attribute its not mandatory but i think its very useful especially when you mix different languages at one page.
For example this multilingual dictionary, there are terms and definitions in 2 languages and i have defined languages for both.
lang=”de” xml:lang=”de” and lang=”et” xml:lang=”et”.

I think the problem comes into play because assess issues are a huge pain in the ass to implement. The main things are easy, but in order to fully comply with things, they get very strict and detailed. It's not worth it to most developers as it stands right now, so it's just not out there in the main stream because of that. Very good post. Nice post Ann!

Just yesterday I used SEO and accessibility in the same sentence and received a very strange look. I had to explain how the two go hand-in-hand. Wish I this post to send them to yesterday.

Accessibility and Usability are not mentioned enough in the SEO community. I went on a little rant about it a few months ago in <a href="http://doteduguru.com/id258-my-blogging-manifesto.html" rel="nofollow">my Blogging Manifesto</a>. In many ways a search crawl bot is like a user that needs enhanced accessibility. Besides it's all just good web standards to do SEO type things such as semantic markup, title for anchor tags, optimizing pictures for load time and viewer use, and many other just good standard things. A search bot only downloads so much of a site before it moves on guys and if your images are 100K+ that's valuable crawl time your loosing. Optimize those suckers for the web!
