Re: [Moderator Action] re: [moderator action] mutiple policy files per site

Dear Jeffrey, 

the semantics of your declaration are wrong. Your declaration means,
that policy20020114_main.p3p applys to everything (/*) and that
policy20020114_email.p3p applies additionally to /us/en/*

This means, that for /us/en/* you would have to honor both policies at
the same time to avoid a false declaration (false declaration might
cause trouble). If it works technically, it doesn't mean, that it is
representing your privacy-setup.

In this case you would go for something like
<META xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/09/P3Pv1>
	<POLICY-REFERENCES>
		<POLICY-REF
		about="/privacy/p3p/policy20020114_main.p3p">
			<INCLUDE>/*</INCLUDE>
			<EXCLUDE>/us/en/*</EXCLUDE>
		</POLICY-REF>
		<POLICY-REF
		about="http://www.mydomain.com/privacy/p3p/policy20020114_email.p3p">
			<INCLUDE>/us/en/*</INCLUDE>
			<EXCLUDE>/us/en/images/*</EXCLUDE>
			<EXCLUDE>/us/en/xml/*</EXCLUDE>
			<EXCLUDE>/us/en/js/*</EXCLUDE>
			<EXCLUDE>/us/en/templates/*</EXCLUDE>
			<EXCLUDE>/us/en/include/*</EXCLUDE>
			<EXCLUDE>/us/en/dictionary/*</EXCLUDE>
		</POLICY-REF>
		<POLICY-REF
		about="/privacy/p3p/policy20020114_main.p3p">
      <INCLUDE>/us/en/images/*</INCLUDE>
      <INCLUDE>/us/en/xml/*</INCLUDE>
      <INCLUDE>/us/en/js/*</INCLUDE>
      <INCLUDE>/us/en/templates/*</INCLUDE>
      <INCLUDE>/us/en/include/*</INCLUDE>
      <INCLUDE>/us/en/dictionary/*</INCLUDE>
		</POLICY-REF>
	</POLICY-REFERENCES>
</META>

Best, 

Rigo
