I believe this is my cue to pop up and say:
"Two words: CC/PP."
Okay, wait, that's not really two words.
But this is another example of why the WAI community needs to rally
around Composite Capabilities/Preferences Profiles and work to push
that technology forward.
Current content-negotiation alone is -not- sufficient, and CC/PP is
a great solution -- but it needs to be "finished up" on the spec
level and it needs to be implemented in browsers and servers and
server-side software.
