This was discussed on the 2013-05-31 call. The agreed action will be to relax the facilityLanguage to minOccurs=0 and to add to the front matter of the spec an "open issue" regarding the use cases that will be broken by not having a mandatory language attribute. It will be open to public comment whether it is better to have a mandatory attribute to which one can specify "unknown" as the language or to leave the attribute off and have to figure out how to execute the use case(s) using client side workarounds.
