David, It may help - in my view - publishers/implementers to understand how DNT may help them if emphasis is put on 3 different use cases outlining the capabilities of the W3C DNT protocol. E.g., a breakdown into a simple one, which works with the DNT header field, an intermediate one, which uses the JavaScript property, and a granular use case, which uses the consent API. If you agree this is a helpful clarification, I am happy to contribute text.
