Dear Shane, we already talked to the UK ICO folks. And they are looking forward to get some help from us to help businesses to better cope with an expression mechanism. This is not about compliance to regulation, it is about an expression mechanism. And DNT is an expression mechanism. The fact that you are concentrated on the semantics of the expression don't mean that it can't be helpful in another (non-US) context. I just wanted to appeal to you that we shouldn't prevent a solution there only because of minimalistic improvements here.. So whether the scope of DNT is only for cross-site tracking doesn't mean that you do not express this preference to a first party.
