     2941   Many of the request header fields for server-driven content negotiation
     2942   use a common parameter, named "q", to assign a relative "weight" to the
     2943   preference for that associated kind of content.
     2944   This weight is referred to as a "quality value" (or "qvalue") because
     2945   the same parameter name is often used within server configurations to
     2946   assign a weight to the relative quality of the various representations
     2947   that can be selected for a resource.

     2949<t>
     2950   The weight is normalized to a real number in the range 0 through 1,
     2951   where 0.001 is the least preferred and 1 is the most preferred;
     2952   a value of 0 means "not acceptable". If no "q" parameter is present,
     2953   the default weight is 1.
