If the web server were to render page according to the list order, it would mean that it doesn't consider them "equally acceptable". The way I understand the specs is that if a user states that two languages are "equally acceptable", then it means that it's up to the server to negotiate, based on it's own criteria. The RFC2616 "12.1 Server-driven Negotiation" says : > However, an origin server is not limited to these dimensions and MAY > vary the response based on any aspect of the request, including > information outside the request-header fields or within extension > header fields not defined by this specification. And that's very useful for server side negotiation, because on the server side, it's likely that the language were written in one given language, then translated. It would then be sensible to provide the original document. Thanks for the suggestion anyway (and Keep reporting bugs).
