> Unfortunately some browser vendors were reluctant to add new content negotiation-based solutions, because of past bad experience with this kind of solutions.

Can anyone provide more details of what they're talking about? I'm actually not too interested in naming names of browser vendors (which they were trying to avoid clearly) -- I'm more interested in details of the 'bad experiences', what was it (some people) thought went wrong with what particular aspects or areas of con-neg-based solutions in the past?

The canonical link in that aspect is http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Why_not_conneg

There are various people in various vendors (Mostly Mozilla and Apple) that oppose conneg based solutions. I didn't mean to be vague, just didn't think it's very interesting :)

It's important to note that the opposition is not unanimous, and things may change in the future.

Thanks!

What's interesting to some is not to others. :) You could add a link to that doc from the relevant sentence if you wanted, woo, the web.
