Why was this changed? Why should user agents pretend that they know what
kind of resource the user expects by setting an Accept header that is
unreliable? FWIW, Internet Explorer and Safari set the (reasonably
acceptable */*), but it would be better to leave it out entirely. Also

It was pointed out by another Last Call comment that not setting the
Accept header causes servers to break. Given the results above I suppose
we could require that for XMLHttpRequest purposes it is at least always
set to */*. Would that work?
