Fixed this to use
http://www.w3.org/2001/SMIL20/Language

as namespace.

Removed the REC part.

The namespace should be different, I think, since this is the way 
that a client informs a server that it supports SMIL basic.

I'm not sure that people actually use the following URI to
identify SMIL basic, however
http://www.w3.org/2001/SMIL20/REC/HostLanguage

or that anyone uses the "accept" header at all - I'll send a
seperate message to the www-smil list on that.
