Related notes:

Agreement was YES. Reasoning: Cacheable resources can be used for tracking by creating individualised URLs that are only accessed by one user. This would allow tracking and therefore, non-tracking needs to be declared.

2012-02-21: We agreed that cacheable resources may be used for tracking (through personalized URLs) and thus should include a response header (or be covered by any other feedback mechanism we design).

I did not receive any feedback on this section and I plan to change the status of this issue to CLOSED.
