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.

Greets,
