I certainly disagree with adding text suggesting it's as good an idea to respond with 406 due to Accept-Language as it is to respond with 406 due to Accept, Accept-Charset, or Accept-Encoding, the latter all being ca- pabilities of the user agent, while Accept-Language refers to the user's education. Back in the day I had to add `*` to my Accept-Language header to avoid this failure case, which was indeed present on several sites. I could probably live with noting 406 is okay "somehow", but the text must be very different from the text for the other headers. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
