C# HttpClient: Why MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue?

What is the purpose of the MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue parameter when attempting to set the "Content-Type" header property on a request? The MSDN documentation simply states:

Represents a content-type header value with an additional quality.

What specifically is meant by 'an additional quality'?

The purpose is to comply with the HTTP standard, which under section 3.9 defines quality values. You can read further about it in RFC 2616. Here is a link : http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html
