That is why the second half of my message, in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tracking/2012Sep/0009.html specifically adds "by third parties" to the UA config. The confusion already exists. I don't want to require a specific user interface, but we do need to have common understanding of the meaning so that we can tell when the meaning is not being upheld and informed by the user agent. In HTTP, the semantics of a header field are just as critical as the syntax. ....Roy
