Re: IE6 Third Party Compact Policy

     There is an update to the P3P deployment guide which covers the
problem you're hitting. Specifically, the <meta http-equiv ...> mechanism
won't work with most servers. Unless the server scans the HTML and converts
those <meta> tags into HTTP headers, then IE6 won't see the compact policy
in time for the cookie decision-making process. For more information, see
section 2.4.2 of this version of the guide:
(See attached file: ServerGuide.html)
     This is a restriction of the compact policy mechanism: if you can't
set HTTP headers, you can't send compact policies.
