<http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec12.html#sec12.2>: 12.2 Agent-driven Negotiation With agent-driven negotiation, selection of the best representation for a response is performed by the user agent after receiving an initial response from the origin server. Selection is based on a list of the available representations of the response included within the header fields or entity-body of the initial response, with each representation identified by its own URI. Selection from among the representations may be performed automatically (if the user agent is capable of doing so) or manually by the user selecting from a generated (possibly hypertext) menu. So it depends on the client's capability whether the 300 response body is shown to the user. Whether the Default Delivery Context, which models a very basic device/user agent, should be considered capable of performing automatic agent-driven negotiation, could be a question to the BPWG. -- Johannes Koch BIKA Web Compliance Center - Fraunhofer FIT Schloss Birlinghoven, D-53757 Sankt Augustin, Germany Phone: +49-2241-142628 Fax: +49-2241-142065
