If I wanted to send a gipped document but the receiver can't dealt with
it,then I should send the unzipped version.  If I want to send an image in
svg but the receiver can only handle png or gif, I should send one of those
types.  I think that's the idea behind the "accept" header.  Makes sense to
me.
