<h3>Plug-In APIs</h3>
- <p>TBD.<p>
+ <p>
+ 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.
