Rigo - Can you help me understand why the text in the document that has been there since Oct is fine, but the text I offered is not? My text simply builds on the text from the Oct draft. Were you objecting to section 5 all along and I missed it? I'm just not understanding where your analysis is coming from here. I was under the impression that the User Agent being responsible "for determining the user experience by which a tracking preference is controlled" has been long settled. The draft text for the last six months bears that out. My apologies if this has been previously debated, but I was unable to find it in the email archive. I'd be grateful for any clarity you could provide. That said - I'll start working on some additional language over the next few days. Thanks.
