Item12482: Incorrect derivation of value for 'lang' and 'xml:lang' attributes

The value of the lang and xml:lang attributes in the html tag of any output page is generated from the LANG macro. However this macro is incorrect - it generates language identifiers that are not compliant with any of the relevant RFCs or BCP 47, all of which require '-' as a separator - we are generating '_' (underscore).

This comes about because the language code is obtained from the locale setting (irrespective of whether UseLocale is set) and defaults to en_US

See Support.Question1223 for how this was found.
