Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] hrefTranslate attribute (#301)

@hadleybeeman Looking back on the feedback you've provided I'm wondering if you think our proposal is to share a user's preferences that are stored on some logged in account with the next site? ie. Is your assumption that the website by setting the attribute is leaking something about user preferences? This is not the scenario we are describing at all. The scenario we are talking about is an empheral user interfacing with a website in some language that can't be determined by the browser and the website is just surfacing the language that the user interacted in.

We've tried to articulate that it is impossible for the browser to solely determine the interaction language (as we've given examples of interaction with speach, and we could provide more). It is unclear to me how you'd iterate on your suggestions to make the browser "smarter" to know what accept-language to send on the subsequent request (or to translate the page into).
