[npdoty]: take the most recent answer
22 Sep 2011, 14:25:56[karl]: HTTP is stateless, and so the server based its responses on each message.

The WG consensus is that only the current user preference matters, since that is consistent with the stateless nature of HTTP (and would be a burden to implement otherwise).
