I suspect it is perfectly valid XML (':' is valid in XML
names, which is how come they were able to use it for
XML namespaces). A quick look at the namespaces spec
seems to tell me that the namespace prefix is 'attr' and
the attribute name 'xml:lang',

'''The Namespaces in XML Recommendation [XML Names] assigns a meaning 
to names containing colon characters. Therefore, authors should not use 
the colon in XML names except for namespace purposes, but XML 
processors must accept the colon as a name character'''
