When last we discussed this, I raised the scenario in which the server's response to a failure to negotiate is to issue a protocol error. Arguably, a protocol error isn't Web content, although I suppose if it is in the form of an XML document instance, there is room for dispute. Of course, an error response is not "the same" content as that provided by the resource, so it cannot be regarded as "a version" of that content. I think it would be better to say that if there is a default version, it must conform at the specified conformance level, and if there is no default, any failure to negotiate, the error message or other response issued by the server must conform at least at Level A. Does that work?
