It's not just broken servers.  With the list of Mozilla's
Content-Location bugs:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=238654&maxdepth=1&hide_resolved=0
I found one bug that's not about a broken server:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241981

It's about Apache serving a content-negotiated document at a URL of
the form http://example.com/doc .  For browsers supporting XHTML, it
serves doc.xhtml; for other browsers, it serves an equivalent
doc.html.  The document contains links to anchors within itself
(e.g., <a href="#intro">Introduction</a>); links in the document are
relative to Content-Location.  Thus, clicking one of those links
takes the browser to http://example.com/doc.xhtml#intro, which is
not a URL intended to be linked to or exchanged.
