Renato, you know that I know that you know that the predominant business model on the Web is target advertisement which exactly why there is large investment in improving targeting and some small research coins investments into privacy. So privacy by design is not only about the architecture. E.g. it is a real challenge for geolocation applications where most of the challenge is in the user interface. What Anne Cavoukian does, is to challenge us to figure out what privacy actually would mean -taken seriously- while implementing things like browsers, while creating web sites etc.. So it is more than just saying web architecture should be privacy enabled. I know why you argue for it and we tried the constraint framework for the web for the past 10 years without too many results. I think we have to start by some islands as that's what people understand and willing to accept.
