Hard to configure, hard to debug, hard to make backwards compatible with
the existing web.

It's not easy to cache globally because each document have different
etags.  It can open some security holes for servers not configured properly.

Below is a sample of what Dan Brickley (original chair of the social web
XG, author of FOAF, runs schema.org) has to say on content negotiation.
You could also repeat the search for conneg.

e.g. "the content negotiation aspect of linked data has been massively
oversold"
