The spec has been written for implementers, not users. So giving a  
statement about users or recommendations on how users can better  
protect their privacy is not very useful.

Suggestion:
	It allows the user to disable the notifications
	without losing the underlying link functionality.
	Note for implementers: You might notify the users
	through the UI that this will not protect
	completely their privacy.
