RE: [ISSUE-81, ACTION-13] Response Header Format

I would be very interested at our meeting in San Jose in understanding the technical impact of server sending a simple response with every browser interaction. I'm thinking of Roy's earlier points on this topic.

Again arguing for simplicity here, but..

I need the (simple) response header (can do DNT) for the concept responding to
the ePrivacy Directive I'm currently working on (and hopefully finish before
TPAC)

If I would be kidding, I would say 359 means I'm the french music HADOPI
authority and will continue to track you.
I think the response header has to be very very simple. Otherwise, we could
send back a full fledged P3P file with stated practices or even the compact
format that is far simpler and more expressive than having header H:300. We
have that already and should not re-invent it here, at least not in version
1.0

Best,
