I think it's generally not true, unless we talk about payloads.

So I think the I18N support is due to XML and WebDAV's use of it.

The DTDs are incomplete; see for instance 
<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-vcarddav-carddav-07.html#rfc.section.2.p.3>.

xml:lang is explicitly mentioned in RFC 4918, see 
<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc4918.html#rfc.section.4.3.p.3>.
