The following sentence in the spec (and the similar ones for the accept and accept-charset attributes) is not sufficiently clear: When the XInclude processor fetches a resource via HTTP, it should <http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-xinclude-20031110/#dt-must> include the value of the |accept-language| attribute, if one exists, in the HTTP request as an |Accept-Language| header as described in section 14.4 of [IETF RFC 2616] <http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-xinclude-20031110/#RFC2616>. Specifically, does this mean the value of the accept-language attribute ahould be the *exclusive* value of the Accept-language header? or ca it merely be part of it? For example, given this element: <xi:include href="http://ww.example.com/" accept-language="fr"/> is it acceptable to send this header: Accept-language: fr, en * or must the client send exactly Accept-language: fr ? Both versions "include" the value of the accept-language attribute. Is this header allowed to include anything else? A related question: what headers may/must/must not a client send in the absence of any or all of the accept attributes? -- Elliotte Rusty Harold
