But flags (as an image) /are/ a quick way to identify a locale. Sometime they don't exactly overlap, thus the above problem, but they are still useful. Maybe not in content-negotiation, but for example to switch between locales easily, to switch keyboard mapping, to ask for some content different from the current locales, etc. Cheers, -- Yves-Alexis
