Re: Your concerns with ISSUE_197?

What are the certain and well-defined circumstances? I still don't 
understand the point of this sentence. If we remove this sentence, I 
could agree to closing the issue.

Note that the|D|tracking status value is meant to be used only in 
situations that can be adequately described to users as an exception to 
normal behavior. An origin server that responds with|D|in ways that are 
inconsistent with their other published and unexpired claims regarding 
tracking is likely to be considered misleading.
