<placeName> element requires an @xml:id attribute whose value is the concatenation of "name", the Syriaca.org ID number of this place (i.e. the last element of the URI), a ‘-’, and the number of this name element in order.
(language) The language of the name should be indicated in an @xml:lang attribute of the <placeName> element, whose value is derived from the the ISO-639-1 or ISO-639-2 standards. In particular, "en" should be used for "English", "ar" for "Arabic", and "syr" for Syriac. Syriaca.org is not using "syc" for Syriac to avoid the judgment of what constitutes "classical." In the case of vocalized Syriac, the @xml:lang attribute should be augmented with a script indication: either "-Syrj" to indicate West Syrian vocalization or "-Syrn" to indicate East Syrian vocalization. Thus the @xml:lang attribute will have a value of "syr-Syrj" for vocalized Western Syriac and "syr-Syrn" for vocalized Eastern Syriac. The @xml:lang attribute for an unvocalized Syriac name form, such as Syriaca.org’s headword form, should be simply "syr".
