I agree entirely. IF I send a request, I expect that request to be stored. If I don't want to make the request, I won't make the request (noscript, ghostery, and AdBlock+ go a long way to that). DNT is a pointless 8 bytes that has no real, enforceable meaning.

We can have our cake and eat it too. Send the DNT header flag, but purposefully edit analytics requests. Thus, providers must honor DNT requests or risk a poisoned well of data. This is not theoretical, I have a Chrome plugin which does this to Google Analytics requests, and am increasingly tempted to release it to the world.
