Regardless of continuing with TCS, the TPE document must define
the protocol, which means it will include a definition of tracking
because no protocol can express a user's preference without a
common understanding of the preference.  Semantics are a required
part of being a standardized HTTP header field.

TPE was just waiting to copy that definition from a consensus in
Compliance.  Lacking a Compliance does not remove the necessity
for sent semantics to be defined by TPE.  In other words, we must
agree on what the user is asking even if we choose to disagree on
how a server complies with the user's expressed preference.
