If we have explicit/explicit pairs, we do not interfere with how to represent them. A tool for me (e.g. http://code.w3.org/privacy-dashboard/ ) would list those pairs and allow me to make informed decisions. My arguments so far: If we do web-wide exceptions we MUST also accept web-wide denials to remain credible. If we accept web-wide denials, there will always be an option where some third party will not work on the site and may have to ask for a specific exception to be able to track on that web site. All this needs explicit/explicit pairs and an interface for it. A browser may chose not to implement this and only allow a granularity of [all or *], but the Specification should not limit the functionality here. So there can be a package, but it can't be limited only to a package. Best, Rigo
