Hm, it is unfortunate that after all the discussions, you're still in 
Prague. Will you come to Seattle?

If a user expresses a preference of DNT;0 and the server is happy to confirm 
that DNT;0, there are matching expressions of preferences. Matching 
expressions of preferences can be seen as matching of will on an determined 
object (the request). Matching expressions of will is the definition of 
agreement[1], whatever you say, will say or will not accept. Consent is a 
special case of agreement with the additional requirements that Rob 
mentioned.
