There should be a way to set a list of languages to use when the
browser doesn't specify language.  I presume this should be
"placeful", but I've no idea how to go about implementing this.

Another thing that should be considered is changing urllib to add an
Accept-Language header based on the user's locale settings.  This
could even be done in httplib, adding the header if the user hasn't
done so already when endheaders() is called.  The later seems a bit
more magical, though.
