This agrees with:
"Toward Graceful Deployment of Tables in HTML"
http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/table-deployment.html
which is the closest thing to a spec on this issue. I have had
no negative comments on this syntax.

Sounds good.

Preference is indicated by the q=... parameter. I don't believe HTTP
assigns any meaning to the order of the entries in an Accept: header.
Let's check the spec and see...
5.4 Request Header Fields
http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/Protocols/HTTP1.0/HTTP1.0-ID_24.html

|The field may be folded onto several lines and more than one
|occurrence of the field is allowed (with the semantics being the same
|as if all the entries had been in one field value).
|
|Accept = "Accept" ":" 1#(
| media-range
| [ ";" "q" "=" ( "0" | "1" | float ) ]
| [ ";" "mxb" "=" 1*DIGIT ] )
|media-range = ( "*/*"
| | ( type "/" "*" )
| | ( type "/" subtype )
| ) *( ";" parameter )
|float = < ANSI-C floating point text representation,
| where (0.0 < float < 1.0) >
|
|The parameter q is used to indicate the quality factor, which
|represents the user's preference for that range of media types, and
|the parameter mxb gives the maximum acceptable size of the Entity-Body
|(in decimal number of octets) for that range of media types.
