I suppose use(abuse? not sur eit is correct use) of OPTIONS The Accept header may be more appropriate. However that is a relatively fragile contruct - unless there is a mandatory default. But such a default in essense forces every implementation to at least support one format and kills the ecosystem for different formats. By the way - do note that compression is orthogonal in http; and that the varous serializations we have now are just 1-2% different in size for 10k+ triples once they are compressed. Dw
