I meant to comment on this point too.  The reason that the default for
ForceLanguagePriority is "none" is that this gives the behavior closest to
1.3 and closest to the intentions of the HTTP/1.1 spec.  (Although on the
latter front, I'm not too sure.)  I agree that it is confusing when the
default config differs from the server default, but this is far from the
only case for that.

On the other hand, I won't object if you want to change the default.
However, I still believe (strongly) that the behavior with
"ForceLanguagePriority none" is wrong in the case of no Accept-Language
and should be fixed.

Joshua.
