I believe draft text has already been provided for this issue - was this opened to track it separately? <Sent by Matthias on 1/19> -------------------------------------- A site that receives DNT;1 MUST follow the corresponding practices as defined in the [standards compliance] document and SHOULD send a corresponding DNT response header. Note: If a site chooses not to send a response header, then the user agent does not obtain information whether the preference has been accepted or not. This may have negative consequences for the site such as: - Preventive measures by user agents - Being flagged as non-compliant by scanning tools that look for response headers --------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Tracking Protection Working Group Issue Tracker [mailto:sysbot+tracker@w3.org] Sent: Monday, January 30, 2012 1:28 PM To: public-tracking@w3.org Subject: tracking-ISSUE-120: Should the response header be mandatory (MUST) or recommended (SHOULD) [Tracking Preference Expression (DNT)] tracking-ISSUE-120: Should the response header be mandatory (MUST) or recommended (SHOULD) [Tracking Preference Expression (DNT)] http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/track/issues/120 Raised by: Matthias Schunter On product: Tracking Preference Expression (DNT) We had discussions whether the response header should be mandatory (MUST; A site not sending a header is deemed non-compliant) or recommended (SHOULD; user agent cannot derive compliance but will usually assume non-compliance if header is missing).
