[Vorbis] Can't access www.xiph.org from Japan

[Christopher Harrington]

I'm inclined to agree with Ian. People experiencing this issue have a 
misconfigured browser. The webserver is functioning according to 
internet standards set by w3.org for all servers to follow.

The fact that other websites don't exhibit the problem is not an 
indication of a bug in this website. If you no longer wish to encounter 
the problem, set English as an alternate acceptable language in your 
browser. That will cause your browser to list English as an acceptable 
language when it queries the server, which will subsequently return an 
English page on your request if no Japanese page is available.

I suggest you read the description for the 406 error; it says your 
browser has essentially told it that English is not an acceptable 
language. That's like asking you to respond to this message, but you can 
only respond using UDP packets directed at my IP address. If you replied 
via email, you would be violating what I listed as an acceptable means 
for replying to my message.
