Do you think that content authors are going to bother setting the Accept-Language request header on every XHR request that they make? No, they are going to assume that the browser sets it automatically I think it is a decent compromise to permit authors to set the header and have that suppress the user agent's own header. -- Stewart Brodie Software Engineer ANT Software Limited
