Well, that's a tough competition ;), but I certainly agree that this is a contender for the title. More politely put, content negotiation addresses one of the most significant problems on the Web today, and should not be put off. I have a counterproposal: let's abolish the User-Agent header! Since everyone's violating Netscape's trademark and identifying themselves as 'Mozilla' anyways, the header provides no useful information. Marc Hedlund <hedlund@best.com>, <marc@organic.com>
