I would be fine with Shane's approach as I understand it, but I'm not sure we've gotten consensus from industry participants as a group that a "vague" explicit standard would be sufficient for setting DNT in the first place. For example, I recall the most recent W3C industry proposal specifically requiring a link to more information about DNT for consent to be valid, and the original DAA statement on the White House DNT announcement seemed to envision more user education before DNT would be honored. If I'm forgetting more recent developments (well possible), happy to be corrected. Like Shane says, it cuts both ways, so shouldn't be terribly controversial (e.g., Jonathan might well be OK with all that, so long as the standards are equally exacting for getting a UGE). I personally feel less prescriptive for both is probably better, but not going to stand in the way of progress if everyone wants rigid rules.
