Dear William,=20

Your file looks like this:

<?xml version=3D"1.0" ?>=20
<META xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/2002/01/P3Pv1">
 <POLICY-REFERENCES>
    <POLICY-REF about=3D"http://www.qtrnote.com/w3c/policy.xml">
       <INCLUDE>\*</INCLUDE>
       <COOKIE-INCLUDE name=3D"*" value=3D"*" domain=3D"*" path=3D"*"/>
    </POLICY-REF>
 </POLICY-REFERENCES>
</META>

1/ the <?xml version=3D"1.0" ?> directs the validator to the pure=20
XML namespace, not to P3P ;)
Remove <?xml version=3D"1.0" ?>

2/ in the about=3D, you don't need a full path, as the policy=20
is on the same machine

3/ The notion of path in P3P is according to RFC 2396. This=20
means don't use \, but use / instead

4/ your cookie include is kind of dangerous, as it would apply=20
your policy on everything the cookie is replayed to. You should=20
really limit this at least with the domain.

According to this, your p3p.xml should look like this:
<META xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/2002/01/P3Pv1">
 <POLICY-REFERENCES>
    <POLICY-REF about=3D"/w3c/policy.xml">
       <INCLUDE>/*</INCLUDE>
       <COOKIE-INCLUDE name=3D"*" value=3D"*" domain=3D"*.qtrnote.com" path=
=3D"*"/>
    </POLICY-REF>
 </POLICY-REFERENCES>
</META>

Now the validator should be happy..

Best,=20
