For consistency with the Element with lang attribute has valid language tag ACT rule, axe-core should make sure that the valid-lang rule does not fail elements that are empty, or that only contain whitespace characters.

<article lang="invalid">
<div lang="en">
They wandered into a strange Tiki bar on the edge of the small beach town.
</div>
</article><p lang="hidden">
<span style="display: none;">
