This is fantastic, and I hope it stands up on the presumably inevitable appeal. It's the most obvious way of eventually getting rid of per-site cookie notices - make DNT legally enforceable and cookie notices become irrelevant for people who have it switched on. I run an agency that builds websites for non-profits and we respect DNT by not tracking and not even displaying the cookie notice. The only thing I've wondered about is whether we show a one-off notice saying "we note your DNT setting and we've disabled tracking" just because I wonder if users become suspicious that we're tracking them by default if they don't see a cookie notice!
