My point:

It is not intuitively obvious what the user wants to see.  I'm not arguing
that the preference be included in the user agent request string.  I am giving
an example of the diversity of user preferences.

Make of it what you will, but I suspect user-end interpretation is going to 
be difficult.  In any case, I refuse to be a party to any particular camp 
in this issue.  I monitor this list mostly for information.
