To give a very concrete example: corporations may rule per their security policies that all web usage must be accompanied with DNT:1 signales, and enforces it through its web proxies. It may even be impossible to distinguish it from the DNT:1 signal from say, the latest version of Safari. I am sure the DAA people on the list can express their thoughts on this scenario. If so, I would also like to know whether the html-rendering widget embedded within for example a mobile app is a browser or not. Or whether the ability to set or unset DNT:1 in a mobile OS general settings would promote any UA on that mobile OS to a 'browser' or not. Or more generalised, a generic proxy that is explicitly installed or configured for this purpose by the user which inserts DNT:1 in any outgoing http traffic. Regards, Walter
