RE: explicit-explicit exception pairs

Rigo,

Disagree on granularity.  If I say "the 3rd parties I work with = '*' " then it is defined and consent has been reached.

Shane, 

I'm surprised to hear that from you because in order to get a web-wide or 
even a site-wide exception, you need this granularity anyway. I also not 
that a consent mechanism could not work that way as the object of the 
consent would be open ended and thus undefined. If you only say * and don't 
tell what it means, there can't be any consent or agreement. 

Best, 

Rigo
