How can users understand and use the complicated P3P vocabulary?
Some critics have feared P3P is too complicated to enable users to build their own preferences, and also too complicated for small web sites to write their policies down. This would hinder deployment of P3P. While the P3P specification is complicated, the P3P working groups expect that a wide range of P3P tools will soon become available. These might include pre-built preference files for users and policy generator tools for web sites. Self regulatory bodies, privacy advocates, and data commissioners from different countries will be able to lend their expertise to web sites about creating policies and preferences. Just as tools exist to help people design Web pages without knowledge of HTML, we expect there to be tools to help people write privacy policies and preference files, without knowing all the details about P3P.
