[DDI-SRG] quick question regarding xml:lang on maintainables (233)

We decided at our last call that xml:lang would be added to 
AbstractMaintainableType but did not discuss if it would be required. My 
assumption was that it would be 0..1 however, in changing the Action item 
in the bug I noted we had Instance default to 'en'. This seems 
problematical as one one of the many maintainables would have a default 
and I don't think it is reasonable to default everything to "en" as it 
would probably cause massive confusion if uses didn't change it 
consistantly. Thoughts????
