This creates a conflict with pre-existing preferences (web-wide). We either need a rule to override them (1) or we need a means for the site to respect them(2). (1) I would suggest to follow the more than thousand year old rule that the specific trumps the general (roman rule). Means a site-wide exception or DNT:1 would trump all web-wide preferences. This is a very simple rule for Browsers. (2) Allow the first party to access site-wide information so that she can respect the preferences and not send info to a given third party that gets a DNT:1 This is more friendly to Shane's use case. -- Rigo
