Right, you can set the FMT_LOCALE attribute and JSTL will use it. My problem is
determining what Locale JSTL decided to use after parsing the Accept-Language header.
I may have to do it in the JSP after the first call to fmt:message, and check the
Locale that was set on the response:
<fmt:message key="welcome"/>
<fmt:setLocale value="${pageContext.response.locale}"/>
