David, Roy is right in saying that we currently do not define what DNT;0 means. >From a US perspective, falling back to the legal default means everything is permitted. Falling back in the EU would probably be as restrictive as DNT;1 or even more so. Consequently I think we should add a section to describe things that _at least_ allowed if DNT;0 is sent. This way we do not have to define tracking entirely, but we state that we expect _at least_ that certain things must be permitted and are expected to occur. This would also somewhat resolve the "informed consent" issue Roy was raising.
