1. I read it the say I did because of the title of the suggestion, "Specify blogging language in user profile." I'm well aware that languages spoken can be an identity-level thing; this is why I'm so keen for us to have "languages read" as well as "languages written in" (though I'm very open to having the precise wording of that changed!).

2. Mmm. I don't think that's something I'm going to try to shoehorn into this, but will stick it on my List Of Spec/talk to Fu about it/open a bug for it once I've got the first bit done.
