What does "Accept-Language: en-securid" header ...mean?

Sifting through some server-side warnings about unrecognized client languages, I've noticed some browser clients present the following header:

Accept-Language: en-securid,en-us

It seems to be from IE8, something to do with windows and RSA SecurID? Is there any practical implication of this header?

Yes, it is related to RSA's SecurID desktop application. From this PDF (I had a really tough time finding an actual website with this info), it mentions that this culture is added when installing the IE plug-in related to the SecurID application:

When you install the web browser plug-in for Internet Explorer with the SecurID desktop application, the en-securid language setting, which allows the browser to recognize web pages protected by RSA SecurID, is added only for the local user who installs the application.
