IMO:
- If Accept is just "text/*", defaulting to text/html is appropriate.
- In JSF 1.1, the page directive comes along too late to
use as another source of a content type, but in JSF 1.2, I think
we could take advantage of it.

Hi,
I just want to discuss an issue I've faced lately.
When a user makes a request with the request header "accept : text/*" ,
response writer cannot be created because "text/*" is not supported.
selectContentType method of HtmlRendererUtils first checks the request
header map for accept key and gets the "text/*" value, since this is not in
the supported content type list, pages are broken for this reason. Should we
select default text/html type for text/* only requests?
Another question I had is about the page directive, <%@ page
contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" ...%>, seems to be ignored because
only
context.getExternalContext().getRequestHeaderMap().get("Accept");
is used when trying to select the content type.
Any ideas? I couldn't find anything about this in the spec so far.
