It would have been a massive help if we were able to, quickly, see what language a certain fragment of the text is (defined to be). Today, this is typically a tedious multistep process:

1. First you must activate the attribute panel.
2. Then you must navigate to the (xml:)lang attribute.
3. Then you must check whether that attribute present or not.
4. If it present - then, simply check that the language tag is correct.
5. But if the (xml:)lang attribute is not present (and usually this is exactly the case), then you must in principle go through each and every parent element to check whether any of them contains a (xml:)lang attribute.

Word processors sometimes uses e.g. flags to symbolise the language of the text (fragment) and they also allow you to change the language by clicking on that flag. May be XMLmind could do something similar?
