Is XForms allowed to ignore xml:lang attributes?

What I want:
one document containing data, layout and translations. Splitting into 
several documents is no option.

What I tried:
<xf:select1 ref="/my/model/some_value">
  <xf:label lang="en_US">Label</xf:label>
  <xf:label lang="de_DE">Aufkleber</xf:label>

Result in FF-XForms-0.8.7:
"Label" and "Aufkleber" appear both in the UI.

Naively expected Result:
For a browser setup to "de_DE" only "Aufkleber" is shown. Others 
setups show just "Label".

Can someone please shed some light on this situation. 
Is my translation approach correct?
If not, are there alternatives?

kind regards
