Open issues/risks
`
Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
Web sites should be able to check if I have do-not-track (DNT) turned on without needing access to the HTTP stream. A navigator.doNotTrack object in the JS global namespace could signal that I have enabled DNT, and its value could match what is sent in the HTTP header.
2. Users & use cases
- A site may embed third-party content, and not trusting the third parties to honor DNT force them to honor it by suppressing the content when DNT is enabled.
