Please direct your comments to the specific proposal that appears
in the editors' draft:
http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/drafts/tracking-dnt.html#tracking-status-value
I believe that both the first paragraph of 5.2 and the definition
provided for the ! status are quite clear and cannot be confused
with implementing the tracking protection protocol. If you don't
think so, please provide alternate wording.
I am less sure about confusion regarding implementing Do Not Track,
since we haven't defined that, but I seriously doubt that there
is any incentive whatsoever for sites to say that they implement
DNT when they don't actually do so.
