Yahoo Seeks Headlines on Short News Day
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, October 27 2012 @ 04:25 PM EDT
The W3C have a working draft, "an editors' strawman"
A user agent must not send a tracking preference expression if a tracking preference is not enabled. This means that no expression is sent for each of the following cases:
  • the user agent does not implement this protocol;
  • the user has not yet made a choice for a specific preference; or,
  • the user has chosen not to transmit a preference.
[emphasis in original]
If the user has not yet chosen to send a 1 or a 0, the browser must send nothing. IE10 fails. Even if MS had followed the spec correctly, servers are under no obligation in the draft spec to obey the preference sent by the user.

Nothing to see here, move along please.
