RE: "forced choice" user agent implementation of DNT

I submit that your hypothesis is invalid, until the group decides that "user agent" applies only to Web browsers produced by the major browser vendors (IE, Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera ... ignoring for now the dozens of other browsers in app markets and myriad mobile browser versions developed by OEMs). The hypothetical usefulness of "an instance" of such an implementation, even if determined to be workable from a UX perspective, would mean nothing when that same expectation is extended to every HTTP-enabled application, or beyond major browser implementations at least.
