http://www.w3.org/wiki/Privacy/TPWG/Change_Proposal_DNT_0 Problem The existing text and the Mayer alternative both claim the user is giving some kind of consent to something, whereas in fact all we really know when DNT:0 is used as a general setting is that the user has thought about using DNT:1 and has chosen not to send it. When DNT:0 is the result of an exception, Mayer's text is right; they agreed to whatever was explained when their consent to the exception was garnered. Proposal When the user-agent sends DNT:0 on behalf of the user, then a) when the DNT:0 is the result of a general preference, the user is indicating that they are not requesting the behavior and treatment required if they were to send a DNT:1 signal; b) when the DNT:0 is the result of a granted exception, the user is signalling their consent to the request made for that exception.
