Hm, it's it being a "feature" sounds a long way from it being "shown to be 
ill-advised".

Anyway, personally I'm trying to see any trouble with assuming that 
"Accept-Language: XX-YY" can, in a pinch, match a document tagged merely as 
XX.  There are a few cases where it is likely to do the wrong thing, but I 
have a feeling that those are exceptional cases.
