<t>
   HTTP allows web site authors to put multiple versions of the same
   information under a single URL.  Transparent content negotiation is a
   mechanism for automatically selecting the best version when the URL
   is accessed.  A remote variant selection algorithm can be used to
   speed up the transparent negotiation process. This document defines
   the remote variant selection algorithm with the version number 1.0.
