[i18n-drafts] [qa-http-and-lang] Make practical difference clear between language of document and language of the intended audience (#338)

j9t has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/i18n-drafts:

== [qa-http-and-lang] Make practical difference clear between language of document and language of the intended audience ==
https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-http-and-lang promotes the difference between the language of a document and that of the intended audience. That difference is being used as the decisive factor to advise against the use of the `Content-Language` header.

Given how critical this piece of the article is, it’s not clear (enough), what the practical difference is. For example, an English document is usually for English speakers, and even if it’s not (for example, a French language tutorial teaching English), no one uses a different technical way to portray that difference. So the FAQ entry and the entire argument seem to be based on something that has no practical relevance.

(This isn’t to say it is—it seems to. Therefore the suggestion to make this clearer and therefore support the premise of the argument.)
