I do not believe betting on "implied consent" is future-proof. And we want a future-proof specification. On the other hand, a German localized version of the browser could have DNT:1 turned on by default to reflect that the legal system prefers data collection after consent. On the other hand, a first run or startup select screen would work too as suggested by Rob long time ago. So not sure we really need the additional rule proposed in this issue. --Rigo
