[jdom-interest] Filter Content with xml:lang

[Per Norrman]

Hi,

not knowing why you want to do what you do, but bear in mind
that the xml:lang attribute behaves quite like an unprefixed
namespace declaration, i.e. child element and content inherits
the value.

<A xml:lang="se">
    <B>det svenska folkets urgamla rätt att sig självt beskatta</B>
<A>

<A xml:lang="se">
    <B xml:lang="">det svenska folkets urgamla rätt att sig självt beskatta</B>
<A>

The first B is in scope for xml:lang="se", while the second B has no
language information attached.

But maybe you already knew this.
