By using additonal parameters in the Accept specification, e.g. as given
in the examples in the HTTP RFC (or at least the one I have printed out).
They use level=n to apparently specify the version of HTML, although 
only a framework syntax is defined, not the meaning of level.

I haven't checked the latest HTTP/1.1 RFC.
