Private browsing is this mode. You know, when we made P3P people said, you don't need it, you could just block all cookies. Here you could make the same argument that you could just use private browsing mode for everything. That means we don't need DNT. We still haven't resolved that disagreement: You say out-of-band (and not subject to any compliance requirements) agreements will always top the DNT header expression. I have some doubts about the "always" and have some concerns that it could lead to a misleading communication. If the service believes that an out-of-band agreement exists, the service must at least indicate that by sending the tracking flag that is MISSING in the response headers. I think that could be a field of compromise. What do you think? > > On the other point I feel we will continue to disagree. Does this affect a possible consensus on ISSUE115? We have to get to closure on issues! Best, Rigo
