Yes - the current draft tries to accommodate mixed language (but may not express itself well). Question is whether it's technically viable for *choice* of language to be done with proactive in enough cases, vs also accommodating reactive negotiation (i.e., a data structure with multiple language tags in the format).

Hi @mnot @liaizon, depends what expectations that choice sparks. Different languages often transports different messages, there's no 1:1 translations. Not even the aforementioned EU https://www.europarl.europa.eu/ translates everything into every language. Nor at once. But most in many. Someday. It's important to know language and available alternatives. IMO in the end it's a deliberate choice (considering the current options) per case. Not a general default like `Accept-Language` (which nobody bothers to set). The ability to switch is important, so I can compare and then choose. And toggle back and forth.
