It seems to me that content negotiation has a potential role in
a lot of up and coming things, like internationalization, and
possible new media types, so I'd hate to see it dropped unless
we can show more clearly that it _can't_ be fixed. Since a
subgroup is presumablity trying to do that, lets see what they
propose.

The suggestion that a server ignoring content negotiation can 
still conform to the protocol spec also seems fruitful.
