RE: Request to close ISSUE-78

I don't actually see how the proposed text answers the question posed in the issue.  It does not discuss the absence of a header, nor does it discuss what is sent when DNT is turned off.  It actually seems to indicate that the presence of any header, regardless of text, means that DNT is turned on, albeit, possibly not in affect for the particular site.

ISSUE
What is the difference between absence of DNT header and DNT = 0?

PROPOSED LANGUAGE in FPWD:
The DNT field-value sent by a user agent must begin with the character "1" (%x31) if DNT is enabled and there is not, to the user agent's knowledge, a specific exception for the origin server targeted by this request. If DNT is enabled and there is a specific exception for the target origin server via some mechanism understood by the user agent, then the DNT field-value sent by a user agent must begin with the character "0" (%x30).
