xml:lang only works on xhtml documents. When used on an html page, these should fail:

<html xml:lang="en"></html>

Verified with the latest axe-coconut (v4.3.0.06000), if I give within <html> element xml:lang attribute , its giving a voilation , which is expected. But that fail message , probably like - 'xml:lang is not valid ’ instead ‘The <html> element does not have a lang attribute’… @WilcoFiers , Can we take it up as an update or enhancement in this case.
