Considering that both the reference for the 'language' datatype in XML 
Schema and the definition of the values for xml:lang in XML 1.0 both point 
back to RFC 3066, these are functionally equivalent.  This is really just a 
difference in style.  The guidance in 3470 is to use such a feature, 
xml:lang explicitly being mentioned in the case of DTDs.

I'm not sure how it would be more compact because your suggestion adds an 
element.  Again, this is a difference in style.  It should also be noted 
that XPC defines the authentication success and authentication failure 
chunks as two different types.

There is no deep meaning other than lack of consistency.  Which do you 
prefer, token or normalizedString?

LWZ existed before XPC.  If this is a big deal, we can change it.

Thanks.
