Hi Dave,

This may be of interest to IP folks. As you know,
the Platform for Privayc Preferences Project
(P3P) has been under development at the W3C
for quite some time. It finally became a
"Proposed Recommendation." on January 28.
AT&T Labs has now released a free beta of a
P3P add-on for IE5 and IE6 browsers that features
a bird icon to indicate whether or not a site's privacy
policy matches the user's privacy preference settings.
The software is available from http://privacybird.com/.
A growing list of major web sites have adopted
P3P, including CNET, Yahoo, about.com, Expedia,
and many others.
