Yes. The specification doesn't assign any significance to the magnitude of 
the difference between stated preferences; servers can (and do) interpret 
them differently. Further, the server is not obligated in any way to pay 
attention to the client's stated language preference; the server can do 
exactly the opposite of what the client requests and still be compliant.
