Your best bet, if you're serious about this, is to go ahead and

I'm not sure it is something to recommend since it can leads to "defacto" standards and to "best viewed with client XYZ

This doesn't allow for mixed languages inside of a single
line/paragraph though.
Unicode has a solution, but its use is discouraged<http://unicode.org/faq/languagetagging.html>. "Most other users whoneed to tag text with the language identity should be using standardmarkup mechanisms, such as those provided by HTML, XML, or other richtext mechanisms."
Gemtext cannot do everything (and I tend to regard this as a feature,not a bug).
