Sid, your vision really sounds good to me. And I agree that DNT is a tool in the box, not more. I agree that browsers could use that tool in various ways. Bundling the tool with other tools is clearly where browsers compete. So I don't think the TPE or TCS should prohibit or preclude or require other things. I would hope though, that the UI for switching that mode allows for simple, comprehensive and natural choices and makes it as easy to turn DNT:1 on as it is to turn DNT:0 on. --Rigo On Thursday 11 April 2013 07:42:24 Sid Stamm wrote: > But at the same time, there's lots of related privacy features that > can be combined into one user experience; I can imagine a "tracking > protection" mode or something that enables DNT but also does some > other stuff with web cookies, cache, etc. I think this should be > allowed, even though in this case DNT enablement is part of the > "meta-feature". > > On the other hand, I can also imagine a personalization mode that, > when enabled, turns on DNT:0, logs them into a social API endpoint, > and starts mashing up data for a more personal web experience.
