Comment:
In addition to the comments below, we note that there is barely
mention of language or locale negotiation or locale considerations in
this document. This is probably appropriate given the scope of this
document, focused strictly on the XmlHttpRequest object.However, it
should be noted that lack of these capabilities will require
non-interoperable custom implementations. Standardization of
language/locale negotiation for AJAX and REST type interactions (that
rely on XHR) should be described somewhere. This may represent a work
item for the Internationalization Core WG. In particular, we note
these documents:
Web Services Internationalization Usage Scenarios
[http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/NOTE-ws-i18n-scenarios-20040730/]
Requirements for the Internationalization of Web Services
[http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/NOTE-ws-i18n-req-20041116/]
Yeah, this seems out of scope. If at some point someone writes an
authoring guide for XMLHttpRequest it could probably provide guidance on
this. (I don't think that the Web API WG currently has volunteers to
edit such a document, unfortunately.)
Originally this comment was part of the introduction on our comments
page (you'll note that it refers to "comments below"). We included it as
a comment because it seemed important to our WG to mention to you. We
will most likely incorporate information on this topic into our WG's
work, which you might then informatively reference somewhere (unlikely
to be in XHR proper).

Internationalization is an architecture.
It is not a feature.
