Is it necessary?  Assuming that the rules state bugs must be written in English
(I don't know whether this is true or not), it will more than likely be set to
US English.  That doesn't really help us British, Australians, South
Africans.... and so on.

What language do you suggest it is set to?

The problem is, (taking Firefox as example), that if there is no lang attribute
set, Fireforx assumes default system locale language (that is Polish for me).
That makes it select polish dictionary, and I have to switch to English
manually. If language attribute would be set - I would not need to do that.

I think that setting something 'en' as lang attribute value is reasonable.

OK, I see your point, but doesn't that mean it then affects those of us who
don't want to use US English?
I am assuming here US English would be the chosen locale.

I agree it would be a good idea, and can see the plus side, but it could
potentially annoy other English speakers.

'en' does not mean 'en_US', it is a generic setting. Wikipedia uses it for
english version, so I think it is safe here too.
