Re: ACTION-255: Work on financial reporting text as alternative to legal requirements

Alan, 

you create, by definition, a scenario that works only with extended 
tracking. This is turned into a use case that has to be fulfilled 
even in the presence of DNT:1. "that User" is revealing to that 
respect. 

Now if a legal entity promised to some authority that it will serve 
an ad to "that User", the legal counsel of that entity better has a 
good professional insurance. Secondly, if such legal/contractual 
obligation exists, service can only be provided to identified users. 
DNT:1 is that they don't want to be identified. The least thing one 
would expect is that the service uses the exception mechanism to 
explain what the heck is happening here and why. 

But this is certainly not something that we could let go as "minor 
collection/risk" permitted use without transforming the entire 
protocol into a futile exercise.
