This feature is available within the HTTP Form Extensions specification:

http://www.w3.org/TR/form-http-extensions/

You can configure a form using inputs which may override the standard
Accept header:

<form method="GET" action="/formula">
    <input name="Accept" value="application/mathml+xml" type="hidden"
payload="_header"/>
    <button type="submit"/>
</form>
