Hello John,    (01)

why start from scratch when others already have spent much time to create
distinctions?    (02)

P3P 1.1: http://www.w3.org/TR/P3P11/    (03)

As this vocabulary is meant for user agents to compare privacy preferences of
their users with machine readable privacy practices stated by a website, most
of the terms are suitable to describe a users privacy preferences and attach
them to information meant for communication or publishing - even in a non 
HTTP context:    (04)

-Type of transferred data
-Allowed PURPOSE
-Intended RECIPIENT
-Intended RETENTION    (05)

And here is the RDF version of the vocabulary:    (06)

 http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/NOTE-p3p-rdfschema-20020125/    (07)

There is an implicit closed world assumption to this vocabulary as preferences
or practices not mentioned are assumed to be forbidden / not practiced but
I do not see a problem there.    (08)

I could annotate my web pages - or even specific parts of them - using this 
vocabulary and RDFa right now to express my preferences for crawlers much
more fine grained than with robots.txt.    (09)

If I'd actually care. And this is where the really interesting questions start.
For example, why is P3P "lacking the necessary support from implementers
to carry on through the Recommendation Process"? Or why did even such a 
simple thing like Do Not Track fail?    (010)

Regards,    (011)
