Are you comfortable with that path? I don't understand why we would want the compliance document (which defines how service-providing organizations should behave in light of DNT) to say anything about this topic, let alone contradict the TPE spec. Can you explain what the use case is for this issue? I was a bit burned out by the time it was discussed in Santa Clara and haven't been able to find an explanation of why network intermediaries would ever need to modify DNT unless they were specifically installed or configured by the user to do so. At best, the proposal would introduce errors in managing opt-back-in. At worst, it allows ISPs to extort money from advertising networks. ....Roy
