+          User agents often include user-installable component parts,
+          commonly known as <dfn>plug-ins</dfn> or
+          <dfn>browser extensions</dfn>, that are capable of making their own
+          network requests.  From the user's perspective, these components
+          are considered part of the user agent and thus ought to respect the
+          user's configuration of a tracking preference.  However, plug-ins
+          do not normally have read access to the browser configuration.
+          Therefore, we will define here various mechanisms for communicating
+          the DNT preference via common plug-in APIs.
