I hear from different sites that it is about context. May be a just 
made the assumption that "browsing the Web" is a meaningful 
delimiter. I'm simply afraid that a definition of tracking reduces 
the scope to red impair data packets at full moon and that we apply 
DNT:1 and the collection limitation only to those and collect 
everything else full throttle even in the presence of DNT:1. So the 
scope must be large as the permitted uses carve exceptions into that 
large scope. 

What would be your context description. I know mine was a bit short 
hand. But I'm not a protocol designer. So give me a hint what you 
mean and we can test if it is too narrow to let the entire rule-
system survive (no prob for EU as your definition is overruled by law 
anyway: it applies to all personal data)
