It seems unacceptable to me for any Working Group participant to make statements to that effect. One might say that one assumes for the time being that the Recommendation will require such and such and any soft- ware that does something else would then be non-compliant, but there is no basis for claiming that "Microsoft IE will not be able to claim compliance". >We did NOT hear a view that the specification should require publishers >to honor DNT:1 signals from non-compliant User Agents. It's very unlikely that there would be a Recommendation if the Working Group cannot agree that "no means no", so there is not much of a need to mention that. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
