Comment:

 I closed #5501 as "Won't Fix" for reasons I elaborate there.

 However, until we develop end-to-end cryptographic solutions to address
 the issue of infrastructure trust, there might still be use for a "Do Not
 Sell" header. To quote myself from #5501:

 > It's possible that if the header was actually called "Do Not Sell", it
 might make a little more sense to trust it to drive policy successfully,
 because that is a much more direct statement to a top-level site that you
 want the information that you provide to them to stay between you and
 them. But "Do Not Track" is waaay too vague a term for any hope that it
 will transform into something meaningful, consistent, and benevolent in
 all circumstances.

 But if we just devote just one "David Chaum" worth of IQ to that problem,
 we can solve it too, without "Do Not Sell".

 Hence this ticket remains open. Go at it, cypherpunks!
