Comment (by chrisz):
The problem with content negotiation is that we really need to do it
right, i.e. check the accept header including the qs parameters, plus
maybe even some exceptions for certain user agents. Another problem is
that content negotiation can lead to problems with proxies/caches, e.g.
when a page has first been requested by a Firefox browser and then by a IE
browser which gets the page with the wrong content type from the cache,
though I don't know how serious that caching problem really is. I just
read a helpful [http://schneegans.de/web/xhtml/ article] (unfortunately in
German only) that advises against content negotiation because of the
complexity and problems.
So I think we should at least not introduce content negotiation in TG 1.0,
but for the time being, we should resort to a simple solution such as 2.
or 3. Maybe we should open a new trac ticket with the suggestion of adding
this as a feature in TG 1.1 or 1.5.
