I'm no expert, but seems like the options are:
1) initialize it every request, either from browser capability
negotiations (like $ENV{HTTP_ACCEPT}) or with some quick test run early
in the request process;
2) set it in a session that is remembered on server side;
3) set it in a cookie that is remembered on browser side.
If there's another option, I don't know what it would be.
