That would create a (IMO perverse) incentive for website to continuously ask users that send DNT:1 for confirmation that choice while technically adhering to DNT. Basically, DNT:1 is a machine-readable expression of a user not wanting to be tracked. Especially now that Microsoft has indicated that the user will be asked to make a choice during installation, I do not see how doubts about DNT:1 could arise. I am much more worried about DNT:0 being wrongfully assumed. Regards, Walter
