As I said in my previous email. This is only the compact header. It can't=20
stand alone and there MUST be a full policy for conformance with the P3P=20
Specification. This can be done using the well-known location=20
($DOCUMENTROOT/w3c/p3p.xml) or by adding the location of the Policy Referen=
ce=20
=46ile to the P3P Header:

P3P: policyref=3D"http://www.w3.org/2001/05/P3P/p3p.xml" CP=3D"...."

It is dangerous to do "make IE happy" policies as this might engage your=20
liability. In fact, if the real data handling practices differ from the=20
policy announced, this might be considered lying and can trigger liability.=

It needs the other info to display the policy correctly to the user. AND th=
e=20
server MUST have the XML policy to claim conformance to P3P.=20
