Alex put this on the table in Washington and much of it relates to his proposal from back then (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tracking/2012Apr/0076.html) To be clear, that is not the proposal from Alex that I was talking about. We had a discussion in the hallway at the 2nd F2F meeting, IIRC, in Santa Clara, wherein we discussed the wide variety of systems that implement tracking (by any definition). My goal was to make it possible for these systems to comply with DNT by turning off tracking where it occurs, rather than on the website that is merely receiving raw data and appending it to a file for later processing. FTR, I am only trying to translate other folks desires into a proposal for consideration by the group, based on the premise that more systems honoring DNT is a good thing. If the group's decision is that only companies capable of performing real-time request handling are allowed to implement DNT, then I would have a hard time arguing against that. ....Roy
