I'm not quite sure that allowing servers to reject DNT-1s unilaterally deemed non-compliant will enhance trust in the standard. Users may well be quite frustrated to find that some servers (but not others) simply do not respect their signals. Also, many had mentioned a desire to avoid reinstating the pop-up mania of earlier days. I think this would further that mania.
