Yes, that would be here. Something like:

if (lc($attr) eq "lang") {
  $tag .=3D ' '.lc($attr).'=3D'.$NEWLANG;
} else {=20
  $tag .=3D ' '.lc($attr).'=3D'.$value;
}

Not necessary really clean and robust, but working, I *guess*. But do you
know where we can get NEWLANG from? I don't remember of having this
information explecitely anywhere in po4a. we use to use this info as
rootname for the po files, but nothing enforces this until now. Maybe a new
module option?
