Hi Bernt,

I was wondering about the same thing.

How about hacking the org-src-font-lock-fontify-block function so that
it throws an error with a helpful message when the language string is
unrecognised? I just tried this on your document with C-c C-e h and it
didn't throw anything, but maybe in your setup it will? (Check the
*Messages* buffer, it may be that font-lock handles the error). I've
prepended the below with "$ " to stop patchwork from grabbing it.

$ diff --git a/lisp/org-src.el b/lisp/org-src.el
$ index f55e292..0d796b4 100644
$ --- a/lisp/org-src.el
