Normally that should be up to the server. In my logs I sometimes see
that our clients and servers communicate in formats I didn't even know
Jena supports, like binary RDF-Thrift.

If a server has a Turtle serializer, it will satisfy the "MUST be able
to provide text/turtle", period. The difference is regarding how this
constraint is communicated:
1. by hardcoding it into the protocol specification
2. by doing conneg with an Accept header that prefers text/turtle
(gives it highest q value)

You seem to be advocating #1, but in what way does #2 not satisfy the
same MUST constraint? Plus that #2 actually follows the WWW
Architecture.

And I'm also still interested in hearing what happens when HTML is
requested in case of #1.
