[thelist] A to Z(ee) with P3P

hello,
I published an article about the Platform for Privacy Preferences, a system
that strives to automate and unify the use of cookies, with a hint of making
it safer. It was interesting to research, as it's one of the lesser known
specs from the w3c, and, right now, only affects IE's cookie behaviour, as
long as you don't install extensions or a plugin.
Between complete ignorance("just add this to your header and you're fine")
and theory overkill everything was there to find, and in the end part of the
process.
So, you've never heard of it? Feel free to come in, get a cup of tea, and
when you're finished reading, you should be able to build your very own P3P
policy, right from scratch to implementation and deployment.

Enjoy,
