Hya, We (On Demand Distribution PLC) have been trying to keep up to date with the development of the P3P specification due to the majority of our clients using Internet Explorer 6. We have had problems from our first attempt to implement the specification, not really with it not working, but being unable to get consistent results. However we now find ourselves in a position where our setup is adequate and other than generally keeping the "privacy" side of the platform up to date, we planned to stop updating to the latest P3P specification, until final agreement has been reached on what it will actually be. Therefore my question is; is there any proposed timescale for a) movement to the next stage of specification development (erm, Proposed Recommendation I believe) b) for a final specification to be released. I understand that development of a standard such as this is complex, but the feeling here and amongst other Content Providers I have spoken to in the UK is that whilst IE6 is not giving consistent results as regards P3P, sites are using erroneous privacy statements to get around problems and users are just setting there privacy setting to low. If this goes on for a lot longer, I feel that the procedure for using P3P will become more of an annoyance and switched off rather than widely adopted and used, as we all hope for.
