Comment 1 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-01-30 02:34:05 UTC 
It's based on whatever the UA needs. The algorithm is just {document,languages}->{string}, it doesn't actually get invoked anywhere in the spec. Would a note giving an example of how the algorithm is going to be used be helpful, maybe?
Comment 2 Anne 2014-01-30 18:35:40 UTC 
Yeah I think that would do the trick.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-01-30 20:05:18 UTC 
K. Reopen if the note isn't good enough. Thanks!
