As I understand it, nobody uses those headers and when people work on
language support in web sites, it's all done with custom preferences. I
base that on the fact that people keep asking to add language indicators
into SAML despite the fact that both the SP and IdP should be seeing the
same language headers from the client.

Of course, the JSON feed could do something with custom cookies just as
easily, but I find the idea detestable when there's a perfectly good UI
right there in the client.
