Everything else is a roadblock for deployment as nobody will sign a blank check to adhere for all and every possible uses of DNT:1 on the site. Silent non-conformance is the same, but harder to detect. You would just not send any signal back if you don't want to adhere. What remains is the concern that you could claim DNT conformance while sending only "D"s back. I think this is not of concern as such behavior would go directly to /. I do NOT believe in the "I do DNT" replacing the privacy policy entirely without any granularity and for all and every request. I rather believe in granular policies (DNT:0/DNT:1, TSV etc) on a per request basis. Because otherwise, we wouldn't need a signal, but just a site saying "we do DNT:1" for all. No need for a complex protocol. --Rigo
