Update of /w3ccvs/WWW/2011/tracking-protection/drafts
In directory gil:/tmp/cvs-serv9688
Modified Files:
tracking-dnt.html
Log Message:
ISSUE-161: Refine the "!" (non-compliant) status to emphasize its role
for testing, allow a subsequent character for testing the intended TSV,
and remove the additiional requirements objected to by David Wainberg
(because they are not required for interop and might interfere with testing).
