Roy, while I do not share your pessimism about our inability to create a system that works for the EU, I confess that some clarifications may be in order. As DNT is merely exchanging symbols/tokens, those symbols/tokens have the semantics we give them. And this may be specified. We are mainly talking about tracking, building of profiles and advertisement. All those are already high level purposes. We can add to those in the compliance Spec. So I think we have to work this out with Rob. Rigo On Tuesday 15 May 2012 10:58:05 Roy T. Fielding wrote: > A lot of people (including Rigo) assume that DNT is specific to > advertising.
