Despite the fact Justin is my boss, I want to emphasize and reiterate that this (the proposed language from David) is not a good idea and seems exceedingly prescriptive for UAs in this forum to have to incorporate some nebulous "keep DNT signal honest" technical mechanism. It should be about the protocol, the exchange, exceptions and what it takes to be considered compliant. best, Joe -- Joseph Lorenzo Hall Senior Staff Technologist Center for Democracy & Technology 1634 I ST NW STE 1100 Washington DC 20006-4011 (p) 202-407-8825 (f) 202-637-0968 joe@cdt.org
