The question is how many people set (or have by default) right language in browsers ?
Most don't even know how. That's not a cn issue, but rather a webdevelopment issue. A well-designed site will have links for the languages it serves on all pages, so that if the user has a default english browser and yet only speaks (or prefers but didn't set) spanish, can still choose accordingly. (Then the site has to set a cookie or use a session to keep spanish, otherwise the next click will take the user back to english. But, again, that's a webdevelopment issue.)
I agree with Jeff Waugh on the images. If i have a site with old GIFs (due to transparency for instance) and want to pass to PNG, cn would be a plus - i can change the files all i want and still have the same URI. (I could even set a filter so that if the client claims to be IE just stick to GIF...) Unfortunately so far only Opera supports SVG.
Also a plus on text/html vs application/xhtml+xml but i'm still a little blurry there.
