Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by inspecting the library's existing quality-item and content-negotiation header APIs, then review the HTTP examples in the issue; the work is done when a revised API design is agreed and its intended representation-ranking behavior is defined.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

rfc

Several headers that a client can send include a list of "quality items", thereby ranking which sorts of representations are more preferable. For example, Accept: image/svg+xml, image/*;q=0.8. These are often used as part of "Content Negotiation". The API design in this library for these headers should be reconsidered here.
