That's what I would suggest in this case. But that would not meet a requirement of "full disclosure *by the user-agent*", which is the essence of this discussion. Yes, the DNT should signal result from informed users' choice, but it might not be the user-agent itself that exposes the choice. (The user-agent in this case is in the internet radio).
