This would require a comment being added to PO files to let translators
know how to deal with this msgid, and my experience is that translators
hardly read such comments, because they use tools which do not display
them (kbabel, gtranslator, poedit, etc, very few of them handle comments
in a useful way).
This attribute may be automagically added, e.g. including translations
from xx.po could set lang="xx".
