The problem are:
[...]
- the lack of alternative (are we sure there are no other
architectural way to address the same need without information leak)
I think the answer is "yes". For tagging of content, there is no "leak",
only information -- that is the entire point of the tag. For negotiation,
there necessarily has to be some exchange of information ("I prefer X").
- the lack of encryption
See above re. the necessity of information exchange. TLS is available to
protect against eavesdropping.
- the "spam" aspect: I am imposed to receive the langtag.
You can of course ignore it if you wish. I also fail to understand how
you can be opposed to a language tag as "spam" yet at the same time
apparently wish to compound the amount of "spam" by including icons,
dictionaries, timestamps, etc.
