To understand the issue a little better, how does your request relate
to the Web services architecture requirement AR020.5[3]:

  The WSA must enable delegation and propagation of privacy policy.

It seems that this requirement covers this, and therefore that the Web
Services Architecture Working Group will tackle the problem, or at
least place some requirements on a Working Group which will craft a
concrete solution to it.

AR020.5 came out of the following scenario, which needs to be
integrated into the Web Services Architecture Usage Scenarios
document:

  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-arch/2002Jul/0368.html

This scenario doesn't explicitely call out for a P3P policy concretely
traveling along with a message, but I think that it covers the
situations.
