Re: Modifying a DNT Header (ISSUE-153, ACTION-285)

Hi Jonathan,

This does not do enough to ensure that a DNT signal reflects a users 
deliberate and informed choice. First, it should be a MUST. Second, it 
should apply to any software responsible for modifying or including the 
DNT header. Back in August I proposed the following:

"A UA that allows or enables other software to alter the DNT setting MUST ensure that such alteration reflects the user's intent."


That accomplishes what we want, doesn't it?
