Unless I have misread the proposal, this is not a part of it and is not being suggested at all! Furthermore nothing in this proposal allows any kind of "probing" as you seem to believe. (Hence my comment that perhaps you have misread the proposal). As I understand it the proposal is suggesting is that a protocol may be developed which allows common fields which many users fill in everyday to be pre-filled automatically should users wish them to be. Users will then be free to submit the form in the normal way or delete any fields they don't wish to send, or modify the information prior to submission, or finally, not any have fields automatically filled in. The proposal does not make *any* provision for automatic submission or transfer of information in any way shape or form or for any "probing" of machines either.
