While those can be done in the "indent and format" operation, I'd consider those to be something that e.g. HTMLTidy would do and it's not just formatting anymore.

- use ' instead of ' to work as expected in HTML 4 user agents
- use both the lang and xml:lang attributes when specifying the language of an element
