Is this not better handled by having the langauge as part of the URI, 
such as "report.nl" or "/nl/report"?

With the hreflang method, if a user (who's browser preferences don't 
include nl as a preferred language) bookmarks the page or copies and 
pastes the URI and then tries to return to the page later, they may not 
receive the the nl version.
