Re: action-231, issue-153 requirements on other software that sets DNT headers

Ah, thanks Mike, I was wondering why that hadn't gotten more attention!   
Regardless, I think Wired *could* do that if it wanted (and just to IE10  
because it doesn't like its set up flow), even if I wouldn't like it.

I don't think that WIRED story is accurate, but I could be wrong. John  
Battelle (an IAB Board Member) recently wrote a blog piece and included a  
mock up of such a publisher exclusion, but upon visits to the WIRED site IAB  
has not encountered such a pop up. I think this is a theoretical exercise,  
which is fun and informative, but not how we should be creating global  
standards.

They don't claim that IE10 isn't compliant---rather they presume the  
validity of the signal---they just say "here are your choices."
