mwatson2 has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/encrypted-media: == Align normative text on user consent for Distinctive Identifiers with privacy section == The non-normative Privacy sections states (Section 11.4.2): "User agents must ensure that users are fully informed and/or give explicit consent before Distinctive Identifier(s) are exposed, such as in messages from the Key System implementation." However, the option to provide information has been dropped in the normative procedures (Section 3.1.2.1, Step 15): "If there is no persisted consent covering accumulated configuration for the origin, it is recommended that implementations request user consent to use Distinctive Identifier(s)." The Privacy text has been stable for some time and we have not discussed recommending consent in all cases. Whether explicit consent is necessary is a matter for user agents. I propose modifying the text in 3.1.2.1 to the following: "If explicit user consent for the use of Distinctive Identifiers is required and if there is no persisted consent covering accumulated configuration for the origin, it is recommended that implementations request user consent to use Distinctive Identifier(s)." See https://github.com/w3c/encrypted-media/issues/63
