I agree with the old lang tag (I don't remember why it was abandoned in the first place somewhere in 2007). The problem is with existing websites.. Can we use mixed lang tags? I don't think so. So one must think of a script to convert span lang tags eventually in order to revert current multilang website the old way.... This is not an easy task...
Alternatively, as mentioned earlier in this thread, if the purifier can parse the content after the multilang filter than all our problems would be solved (for output anyway as I don't think there is a real problem to input nested span tags in a multilang context).
