I also agree. while reading the document I was somewhat confused with the terms "behavioral tracking" and "tracking". Though issue 3.4 defines behavioral tracking, we call it "tracking" in the same issue ("these are examples of tracking:"). I don't mind using a different term to "tracking", which might be misleading (I refer to the discussion about issue 5). But we should stick with this term throughout the document.
