 Suppose that you have an English blog, and you want to publish a new post
 in a different language, say Arabic for example. In this case you need to
 set the `lang` attribute to Arabic, like this:

 {{{
 <article lang="ar">
 }}}
 ... since the `html` tag originally says:
 {{{
 <html lang="en">
 }}}
 Currently, how could you do that?
 The only way —I guess— is to enclose the post-content in a `div`, like
 this:
 {{{
 <div lang="ar">
 ...
 </div>
 }}}
 Whilst, this `lang` attribute should be assigned to `article` tag.
 Notice also the language of `article > header` contents still defined as
 English.
