@r12a Any reason not to?

Since you are expressly pointing to an English version, and there will always be one, this seems a use case where it is less problematic. How will the hreflang information be used, though? It doesn't have any effect on anything unless you extract the value and do something with it.

For now, no plan for the site to use this information.
