I don't think any statements of the form that what is sent in the protocol MUST reflect what the user said they wanted are very useful. For a start, I don't know how I would check conformance -- how do we establish that the DNT request was always the user's intent? "This browser is a high-privacy browser, and always sets do-not-track." "Install this proxy in your home and your whole family's privacy will be improved." and so on. I am, however, not enthused by the idea that intermediates that I did NOT choose and over which I have no control could change my statement. "By staying in this hotel, you agree to have your outbound HTTP requests modified to state you explicitly permit tracking." :-( David Singer Multimedia and Software Standards, Apple Inc.
