They're basically saying, "We're sticking up for consumer privacy! Oh, what? Well we don't want that much privacy - here's an amendment to our proposal so that we can still track you..."
I'm at a loss as to how such an amendment could be in the end user's best interest. How can you even detect such a thing as "the user has actively chosen not to be tracked"? Either the header is there and it means "do not track", or the spec is a joke.
