Something ‘big’ (such as Flash) that does its own HTTP, has a different user-agent string, is a different user-agent, has to get its own determination of the user’s preference (to the rules), insert its own DNT header, and so on. I don't think 'big' has any relevance here. What a user configures and interacts with is their user agent. A user makes no distinction between a flash player operating as a plug-in and a flash player that is embedded as part of the browser code. Our goal should be to enable that user's privacy preference to be available to all parts of the user agent, regardless of how it is interconnected internally, since users don't like it when only some parts of the user agent are aware of their privacy preferences. ....Roy
