If the UA doesn't specify an Accept i would infer that the intent was they it didn't want\couldn't handle any content. If the UA does specify an Accept, i would infer that it is intending to receive content - for that request. That UAs send Accept with every request just means that they want content in every response, IMO - specifications or real world will most certainly vary. cam
