a) Well, how "available" are those linguistic preferences? ;-)
Ask the average Internet Explorer user to change his / her language 
preferences and see 1. how many manage, 2. how much time it takes
b) If the author uses an anchor like this:
<span href="/glossary" hreflang="de" title="Deutsches Glossar">Glossar 
(deutsch)</span>, and the user follows that link, it has been the choice of 
the user based on his linguistic preferences, no? ;-)
