The condition I would prefer is of no cross-site application or
gathering of personal (identifiable) data. See my other message of
examples of such cross-site customisation that would be, in my opinion,
acceptable despite a DNT:1 signal. So zero user browsing history
retention beyond the permitted uses.

Robust transparency is something I am rarely opposed to and would still
be advisable in such a scenario, if only not to undermine the
credibility of the standard and for the sake of user trust loss prevention.
