Sorry for the noise: My customized stylesheets didn't write any <div  
class="chapter"> tags which include the lang attribute. It still doesn't  
help as today's browsers don't take them into account when choosing a  
default language for the spell checker. But this is no DocBook problem of  
course. :)
