A small sidenote, since you do encoding: "heb" is not a legal value
for xml:lang. This must be "he" or "hbo" if you mean Ancient Hebrew.
2-letter language subtags from 639-2 are always required if they exist
(rather than 3-letter subtags from subsequent 639s). The details are
spelled out in BCP 47. You can also find the full current set of IANA
registered language subtags at:

Okay, thanks. "heb" is more intuitive, so perhaps that is how it crept in.
