If we make user-agents authoritative, why should I bother to publish if I then have no mechanism to be authoritative about my own content, when necessary? Doing what the user-agent wants is a good tiebreaker, so to speak, but not to the extent that it argues in favor of making anyone but the publisher authoritative about the data. -Eric
