Maximal weakly etale subalgebras

Thanks to Ofer Gabber who writes

For a field k the class of ind-étale (equivalently weakly étale) k-algebras
is closed under taking  subalgebras, quotients and tensor products,
and every k-algebra A has a largest ind-étale subalgebra A_indet  .

If k' is a separable algebraic extension of k and A'  the base change of A
to k'    ,then A'_indet  in the sense of k-algebras and in the sense of
k' algebras coincide;  if furthermore k' is Galois over k then the Galois
group acts  semi-linearly on A'_indet,  with fixed subalgebra identified
with A_indet;  hence for finite Galois extensions we get by Galois descent
that A_indet tensor (over k)k' maps isomorphically to  A'_indet ,hence this
also holds for all finite separable extensions .[ In fact the formation
of the ind-étale part commutes with arbitrary ground field extension and
with tensor product, but I will not need below this more general
information.]
