Fingerprinting Guidance for Web Specification Authors (updated November 2013)

Hi public-privacy,

Urged on by various privacy discussions at IETF88, I some updates to the Fingerprinting Guidance draft:

* expanded definitions
* brief DNT section
* brief detectability section
* updated references to include recent academic studies

You can see the latest draft here: http://w3c.github.io/fingerprinting-guidance/

I'd specifically like to hear feedback from specification authors or those with expertise in security or fingerprinting. From what I've heard in offline discussions so far, it's important to be more explicit about how feasible it is to address fingerprinting at all and I think the "detectability" section is important for that. Comments are welcome in email and we can chat on Thursday's teleconference for more interactive/in-depth discussions.

Thanks,
Nick
