Is P3P 1.0 the end of W3Cs work on privacy?
There is interest in future versions of P3P. Much of the current Activities within W3C have to address privacy. There are other initiatives within W3C, like CC/PP, the protocol to address the Device dependent services for mobile phones and PDA’s or W3C’s work on Position-dependent services, which will need negotiation and other features in the future to be able to address privacy. There are also a lot of features left out in P3P 1.0 for faster implementation, that could be addressed in a renewed Activity. When the work on XML Signature is finished, this will also enable P3P, as it is written in XML, to address the issue of authentication of a policy-issuer. This work would have to be chartered and instantiated according to W3C process.
