It's very easy to test by just adding the <meta> and then hitting the
changed page with the W3C P3P Validator, which let's you look at the whole
header. :)

In my recent struggles, I've found the <meta> method very handy as a
starting point, and have found it to work on Apache, Netscape, and WebStar
servers.

Unfortunately, lots of web programmers I have contact with have no clue
about HTTP headers or their server, and very many have no access to their
server at that level.
