The problem is that this header field is either impossible or difficult to change, and even then only browser-wide, not site-wide.
4 clicks in FF, 3 clicks in IE, 5 clicks in chromium – very hard indeed. And what's the advantage to look at 1 tool in german and 1 tool in french?
the problem is, that one wants to give consistent links to others. When you're not able to give a link, which points to the same page (in the same language), thats not very user friendly I think. Of course the header field should be used when toolserver.org or www.toolserver.org is the host and may redirect to en.toolserver.org or de.toolserver.org regarding to the language preferences.
Another point: I'm sure 99% of internet users don't know about this browser setting and of the rest a high percentage will not be able to change it. You know it, I know it, but my mother don't know.
Using this field gives you a a good standard language, but language switching is necessary too.
