Admittedly, there is something conceptually to the argument that a Document Setting of language specification (as opposed to a Text Style language specification) ought not to travel with copied text, just as a Document Setting of font size 12 would not travel with copied text and render LARGE text in a font size 10 document. This special treatment of the document level language specification surprised me at first, but now I understand it and can work around it. Obviously, the way it works now addresses a certain set of problems, which would return if it worked the other way.
