ISSUE-118: Should requesting a user-agent-managed site-specific exception be asynchronous?

Should requesting a user-agent-managed site-specific exception be asynchronous?

State:

CLOSED

Product:

Tracking Preference Expression (DNT)

Raised by:

Nick Doty

Opened on:

2012-01-20

Description:

Noted by tlr, and in some of the earlier small group discussions. The answer is almost certainly yes; we should re-formulate the JavaScript API to be asynchronous and use a callback so that user agents can implement a non-modal user interface.
