What she would actually do is type "lynx http://www.google.co.jp/";,
which offers "Google.co.jp offered in: ìñ{åÍ" for .me.uk users, with
no Japanese in their language choice.
The vast majority of sites do not language negotiate, though.
True enough. I'd have to switch my story to
Kurdish to find a language without a matching
national Google site! Even then, there is a
direct URL (http://www.google.com/intl/ku/).
Often language negotiation is just used to keep
URLs short.
I think language negotiation shows its strength
in CGI-tools/web-apps like Squirrel-Mail or
AWStats, where it is cleanly used to just display
localized UI elements.
