Er, I don't see where it says that with equal q values the order of the appearances should be used? Whilst implementations may do this (if en and en-gb are equal quality on the server too) I don't believe there's anything wrong with the above saying that en and en-gb are of equal quality, and it's certainly wrong to say that en-gb will never be checked. (consider a server believing it's en had a quality of 0.9 and en-gb a quality of 1, it will trivially give en-gb not en in that scenario, whereas without the en-gb it would give en) Jim.
