But flags (as an image) /are/ a quick way to identify a locale. Sometime
they don't exactly overlap, thus the above problem, but they are still
useful. Maybe not in content-negotiation, but for example to switch
between locales easily, to switch keyboard mapping, to ask for some
content different from the current locales, etc.
