well-known URIs do not work when example.com domain names host more than one web site.

example.com/business1
example.com/business2
example.com/.well-known/dnt

Exactly the same issue than robots.txt or favicon.ico. favicon.ico 
has been partly solved by the creation of a link header in the HTML 
document. But that doesn't work with non HTML document. I have not 
tested favicon with an HTTP "Link:"
robots.txt is definitely useless in this context.

Another issue is that it has a tendency to create useless HTTP 
requests on the Web for each individual requests.

I would be happier with a 

Link: <URI>;rel=[tobedefined]
