Re: tracking-ISSUE-150: DNT conflicts from multiple user agents [Tracking Definitions and Compliance]

You're now at the "intersection" of regulation and self-regulation. I really don't think you want the regulators to come in here. 

The core issue on the table is simple to state – is DNT:1 my intent. The devil is in the implementation and then the subsequent enforcement of that intent. The regulators will force that decision if self regulation (the Spec) fails.

So the argument against NOT solving the intent problem is very straightforward – Enforceable Regulation with real fines. And the ones that will be paying are the ones with the money.
