Well I agree with both of you! I always said that language is NOT a font
property. It should be split and there should be it's own handling! I also
don't like the assumption of a "paragraph-language" based on the first
character in the paragraph as paragraph-language should be declared as it
and inserted in the "paragraph-data".

What I did is to make the whole stuff work in 1 buffer. It should be
quite easy to fix the copy/paste stuff by just "realizing" the language
on a copy operation so that the language in the copy-buffer is always
realized! Then on paste operation you just can do a "de-realize" for
the environment to copy it inside. Should be really easy!

Sure and it's easy to fix, just I won't fix it now. I've a lot of other
things to do and this is something I don't really care about! I made it
work so that I could view a loaded document (this was not possible before)
and so that the fileformat is ok and not filled over and over with \lang
tags. That all I care about right now. If you, Dekel or someone else care
about this NOW the I just have to tell you fix it yourself. I'll fix this
eventually, but this is on the bottom of my quite long TODO list (see SF
buglist!).
