They should. We should fall back on foo if foo-var isn't found. If that's

Hmmm... Before you go coding anything, I think you should
carefully read
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.4
I am not a language lawyer, but the way I interpret that
is if the browser wants "en", it must ask for "en".
This page:
http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/www/lang-neg.html
agrees with me under the section "Language Subset Selections"
and the author (Alan Flavell) is generally trustworthy
on such topics.
