If you know that an UA is non-compliant, it should be fair to NOT honor the DNT signal from that non-compliant UA and message this back to the user in the well-known URI or Response Header. Further, we can provide information for the user to use a UA that is DNT compliant if they wish for their preference to be honored in that regard. > OK, I think we will have to agree to disagree. I can't think of any other spec., off hand, that allows one end to 'misbehave' if they believe the other end is misbehaving. There *are* specs that deal with what you do if you see actual invalid values, incorrect responses, etc., but none that I know of that allow you to conclude 'you didn't really mean that' and do something other than what was signalled. I still don't know how you tell the difference between a user who agree with, and wanted, the choice, and a user who wasn't aware of it. David Singer Multimedia and Software Standards, Apple Inc.
