I think Nick's note does two things:

* get the APIs on the right objects (uncontroversial)
* reduces from two APIs to one

We currently have both of
a) what is the user's "general preference"?
b) what DNT signal would be sent to a given origin?

Nick proposes deleting the former; I don't have any problem with that, but we need to realize it's happening.
