I believe this normative statement is about providing graphical or other user interfaces to the user about this particular feature; it doesn't say anything about the feature itself being optional. In some proposed implementations, users would not receive separate notification about user-granted exceptions from the browser (since the site is responsible for obtaining that consent); that is, this feature might be implemented by browsers without a user interface component. Hope this helps, Nick
