[Geopriv] "Do not track" header field

This will likely come up on the WEBSEC list as well, but I thought this might be interesting to GEOPRIV folks:

Mozilla and Google Chrome are proposing to extend browsers to send a "do not track" HTTP header of the following form:
X-Tracking-Choice: do-not-track

This seems like another example of users sending along privacy preferences with their data, just like PIDF-LO privacy rules, Creative Commons licenses, etc.
