Hi Chris, (I sent this message, though apparently I picked the wrong thread for reply, so I'm re-sending this to the mailing list. Apologies for repeating myself.) We plan to provide an option for all Firefox users to send a DNT:0 option. We've implemented this in our prototype Firefox OS [0] and are currently working to design and deploy three-state settings for our desktop and Android browsers. There's difficulty in the wording and user interface, and we're working through that now. (For example, nobody will want to enable a "tell sites to track me", and checkboxes don't have three states). We are currently working to find something our usability experts agree will work and will deploy the third state to our users soon. There's no real *technical* hold-ups here per se; rather, the difficulty is around user experience: we need to ship something to users that they understand and can properly act on so that it is valuable. This takes time and planning to get right, as I'm sure you understand.
