I do agree that the current spec language that suggest that it is different from HTTP needs to be backed out (for instance, wrt multiple languages). That being said, *this* specific case seems to be in line with what previous specs said. > To use "content-language" for that purpose in HTML 4, would be a misuse. How so? Is this about the difference between meta/@http-equiv='content-language' and the Content-Language HTTP header? BR, Julian
