We didn't find a means for indicating the natural language of the content as a whole. There is a cue language span, for spanning runs of text, but no way to indicate the language of the file as a whole (that is, the language outside a spanned section).

Lack of language tags means that language-specific processing, such as language-specific font selection, may not be available for the text, leading to substandard presentation.
