[thelist] Content Negotiation...

Hello 'volters,

I'm in the throes of trying to meet some pretty tight guidelines for 
usability / accessibility, and content negotiation has cropped up... now 
from my research I've found that it would be easy if the site were running 
on *nix/Apache, but, it's not!

I've got an idea that maybe the 404 page could become a content negotiation 
app, a bit like the new evolt url system, but it'd work differently. More 
like this: If you go to a page on the W3 site

http://www.w3.org/Library/src/HTMulti.html
and you take away the page extension, you still get the same info
http://www.w3.org/Library/src/HTMulti

It works just as well with any type of file
http://www.w3.org/Icons/w3c_main
http://www.w3.org/Icons/w3c_main.gif

It should be reasonably simple to replicate, it's just a lot of file.exist 
statements. But is that all there is to it?

Cheers
mk
