I keep getting requests to allow/support content negotiation on secondary resources.

The problems are:

allowing the secondary server to do conneg implies that the secondary server has some knowledge of the contents, which, in general, should not be the case
in particular, it makes the use of encryption encoding hard (impossible?), unless the OOB response contains decryption information for all variants the secondary server could send
