The argument so far was to provide a persistent store that would survive clearing cookies. This was one of the main selling arguments for DNT. As people clear cookies once a month at least, the exceptions would not be persistent at all. If this is the case, we would not need any DNT - header anyway as the entire thing could operate with cookies.
