Regarding the question of "actionable": Ideally, authors should be 
able to add content-language information via the META tag, and 
then experience that the web server - and the Web browser - use 
this information to perform language negotiation.

Richard, you made many tests of how UAs react to language tagging: 
Perhaps it is possible to make test case for what web servers and 
browsers do with the content-langauage information with regard to 
content negotiation?
