The way I was thinking is have the server look at the first line for
"#lang" then strip it and put it in the response header. That way it
could be an implementation of the server and not the spec itself.

Something like .htaccess could work. This morning I was also thinking of
it being in the file name. Then it could be on a per file basis like
"index.fr.gmi" would be sent as "index.gmi" with "lang=fr" in the
response header.
