Personally, I can't tell why content negotiation is a good idea in  
any context. To my mind it's hiding interesting information in the  
innards of a network protocol instead having it explicitly available,  
in say, OWL or RDF.

If you think I'm way wrong, please do flame me. I'd like to be able  
to see that it *is* a good idea, if that's possible.
