Otherwise, as we've already begun to see in the real-world, network devices and appendages will begin to set DNT:1 outside of user control and in some cases, knowledge. I also believe this is highly tied to Issue-143 which attempts to solve for a similar issue. > I think you have two different issues here. Can other network devices and appendages set DNT:1 without the user's knowledge/desire/consent? I think we're clear: no; but if we want to tighten this up, we can. Must user-agents implement the API? If someone could explain to me the functional difference between: * user-agent does not implement the exception API * user-agent does, but the user has told it never to accept an exception I don't believe that there is any. I also think that the model that the exception is implemented by the user-agent, but the header comes from their configuration of their proxy/router, works and ought to be OK. Between them, they cover it. David Singer Multimedia and Software Standards, Apple Inc.
