Message composer generating Accessibility issues within Litmus

We have created a template within Acoustic Message composer drag and drop editor and it has generated the below warnings within Litmus :

Your email is missing a "meta content-type" attribute.
Your email is missing a [lang] attribute on the HTML element
Your email contains tables that are missing roles.

These three can be fixed by adding lang="en" xml_lang="en" into the html tag, and <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> to the head, and including role=”presentation” in all table elements as per the below article from Litmus themselves

Can these be added to Message composer to reflect the Litmus best practices?

    Thanks for this idea but it should be noted that it's not a Litmus issue but an accessibility issue.

    On a larger basis, is it possible to add a lang selector, as all Acoustic clients are not using English as their language ?
