Rather than re-open the normative text, I suggest we just give an example of interpreting DNT unset as DNT:1 in the EU and DNT:0 in the US. > > Does anyone object? > > Aleecia > >> On May 7, 2018, at 3:35 AM, Mike O'Neill <michael.oneill@baycloud.com> wrote: >> >> As requested in the last call I have created a PR against master for the >> purpose changes. >> >> This is a readable snapshot of the document showing the TPE if the PR is >> merged: >> >> https://w3c.github.io/dnt/drafts/purposes-snapshotmay2018.html >> >> See 5.2.1, 5.2.2, 6.6.1 and 7.5.10 >> >> Mike >> >> > > David Singer singer@mac.com
