David’s point is more correct in that we need to be careful as to how the preference is exposed. We could also do something very innovative in this case like what is done with do not track. We could default to allowing all requests (which would honor the spec) but allow the users to change the pref to 2 other states. One being only allow pings from the sites I specify and the final one being don’t allow any at all. With accompanying text that explains the tradeoffs/benefits/pain of each setting. This would help us both keep inline with the goal of Hyperlink Auditing and balance our stance on privacy.
