Re: Issue-205 for discussion on Wed - User Agent Compliance

It's DNT with extensions turned on.

DNT sends the signal that I don't want to be tracked - the server sends
back a request for a UGE - if I like the site and content, I agree to the
UGE and then add some extra data via the extensions to give me a better
experience.

Win for me - Win for the vendor - Win for the advertiser.

About as simple as it can possibly be.
