"Content negotiation can cause some pretty subtle failures."

I disagree. B.A.D. clients can cause some pretty awful problems when they abuse the protocols and RFCs. It's not content negotiation that is to blame here.

"Is it really worth it?"

When everyone follows the rules, I think it's more than worth it.

[Transparent] content negotiation is just yet another feature that the guys over at Microsoft has managed to break for everyone.
