Moreover, subsection 10.1 is not a privacy consideration as such. It has a clarifying function, which is already addressed in subsection 5.2. > Therefore, I suggest deleting subsection 10.1. (I made the remark on 21 August, URL: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tracking/2017Aug/0017.html <https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tracking/2017Aug/0017.html>). And my response still stands: we are encountering implementations and public statements that explicitly violate the protocol semantics of 5.2. For example, my recently acquired XBOX ONE S web browser, which claims to be Edge, just popped up the privacy dialog on first use this weekend and it had sending of DNT:1 pre-selected for me. I think that more than justifies a little redundancy in the spec, particularly since section 10.1 doesn't just restate the requirements -- it explains their rationale with regard to privacy considerations. ....Roy
