Yes, this is a correct way to get language for current element. The
problem is, that in lang attribute of xsl:sort you can't use expressions
(AVTs) if you want to be strictly comform to the XSLT 1.0 spec. Some
processors support this, but it can't be added to standard distribution
for this reason. :-(
