SPECIFICATION BUGS ONLY - Description
=====================================
RFC 4647 defines a standard format for language tags and ranges for matching. These are pretty straightforward to use. We should be using those instead of separate language and country codes...

e.g. instead of <Locale language="en" country="US" /> it would be something like <Locale for="en-US-*" /> ... much more concise...

Likewise, when using proxied content, the spec currently says that the container can put country and lang attributes as querystrings in the request... why? Why not use Accept-Language instead?

e.g. instead of sending http://example.org/foo?lang=en&amp;country=US ... why not send

GET /foo HTTP/1.1
Accept-Language: en-US

That way we don't have to muck around with the querystring for these items.
