My concern is that the common-sense definition "the first party is the site the user chose to visit and believes that they are visiting, and every other site is third party" (the user is 2nd, natch), is unfortunately not easily determined 100% of the time by either the originator ('browser') or target ('server') of an HTTP request. And therefore by using such a definition, we'll encourage the more…adventurous…to move into that grey area.
I am toying with saying that everyone has a DNT obligation, until the user interacts. I fear that that will result in an increase of mis-leading clickable objects (weak click-jacking).
