It would still be useful for us to understand your use case. Depending on the design of the JavaScript API, it should be easy to check for the capability to request a site-specific exception. But I currently wouldn't expect user agents to expose that if the Do Not Track itself weren't turned on.

Yes, if there are many (or any) others on the email list who have a use case here, please speak up!

Thanks,
