The use Accept header to select between formatters is underspecified. If
there are multiple formatters that match the Accept header, which gets used?

like, if there are 2 XSLT formatters both with text/html ?  or do you mean if 
the
accept header  is like "text/html,application/xml,application/json" ?

I think Leigh's talking about when there are two formatters that match the 
preferred content type. In the 
latter case, I think the order of the content types indicates preference. I 
think we need to have some way 
of indicating preferences between formatters, perhaps a defaultFormatters 
property that holds them and 
for which it's an error if there are two formatters specified for the same 
content type.
