Re: "forced choice" user agent implementation of DNT

As far as I remember, this also reflected what Rob wanted. Rob was 
open to selection at installation though. But in the scenario 
described by Roy, self determination would mean the user making a 
choice on startup, not the admin making that choice at installation. 

I would add a feature request (not a requirement) that it is easy to 
switch from one state to another and also easy to give exceptions 
and to revoke them.
