Re: SHOULD or MUST for responses to DNT;1?

It is not testable in any case. Without response, even a claim to follow is
no longer visible.

As a consequence, without response, users SHOULD assume that they are
tracked (i.e. that the site does not respect or implement DNT).

If users act on hearsay (as indicated in the other mail), they do so at
their own risk.

>From my perspective. Sites may implement the response header as the last
step of a migration.

Furthermore, a site implementing DNT but not advertising it in a header
'shoot their own foot' but do not cause a privacy problem.

How do we test "MUST follow the corresponding practices"?
It seems not testable.
