I agree completely. But that doesn't exclude that there may be 
complementary technologies that may also be useful. Especially as DNT 
only deals with consent, not with transparency, and then only with the 
communication of consent between a data subject and a data controller, 
not, e.g., with storing the consent, communicating it to other parties, 
protecting it against illegal modifications, or validating it against 
rules.

The premise of the workshop, in my mind, is that there are complementary 
technologies possible, and, additionally, that describing other aspects 
of privacy policies in a machine-readable way (RDF or something higher-
level) is a promising approach. This doesn't necessarily involve HTTP or 
browsers.

But you have until February 26 to send an expression of interest (five 
questions) or a position statement (500 words). See you in Vienna! :-)
