For one thing you posted the message on a Saturday, and it's only
Tuesday today..

Personally I am missing a list of information tokens clients should be
expected to support.  We have talked about the timezone. What else do
you have in mind that this mechanism should be used for. It's a bit hard
to discuss the mechanism without a few use cases to back it up..

Also see the negotiation a little problematic as it relies on the client
keeping track of prior preferences of the server, but it's no worse than
cookies so I don't mind much.. authors using the feature just have to
learn how to get it negotiated proper.
