With ATT and IBM releasing P3P tools for IE today, it's time
to start including P3P in the mozilla builds.

*NO*

Yes, Timeless, did you have something you wanted to share with the rest of the 
class?

Anyway, this isn't a bug, it's a request for enhancement. And even enhancement 
status is dubious, since -- if it's at all similar to the UI which was present 
when P3P was in the Mozilla tree earlier -- it makes the cookie UI far too 
complicated to be understandable, effectively *reducing* users' privacy on 
average since they're less likely to be able to be able to use it. 
(Unfortunately I think that complexity is an inherent problem with P3P, rather 
than with any particular UI for it.)

It's my understanding that harish had asked drivers' permission to do so and it 
was denied.  Reassigning to harish to follow up.

happy to have further confirmation, but this seems to be a dupe of bug 128639.

assuming the answer is still "no", maybe an RFE bug could be left open for
voting purposes? (i'd suggest 128639 got altered for the purpose and this marked
as a dupe, seeing as that bug has already attracted some votes)
