Sure, but if I remember the RFC correctly, it's okay for the server to send
the most likely choice in the body anyway, start.de.xhtml.gz here. Apache
doesn't do that by default, though.
One could take the Referer into account, too.

I agree that the attribute is useful and shouldn't be removed, but maybe
improved.

Assuming 'href="start" hreflang="de, en"' and the former Accept-Language, it
should be
GET /start HTTP/1.1
Accept-Language: en
that means only the Polish part ("pl;q=0.5") gets stripped out.
".pl" for Polish pages nicely collides with Perl scripts by the way.
