Speaking as an individual, no, I do not agree. Firefox's implementation was done well before the standards process started. It is nowhere near compliant, and the meaning of DNT continues to be verymuch up in the air. As it is, implementing "just send DNT:1" is very asymmetric -- easy for someone to set DNT for sites, impossible for sites to request an exception, and that's not good. There's also a lot more than just sending DNT:1, there's the response headers (if you want to see if the server accepted your DNT request), etc, all of which is still highly in flux.

Just picking and choosing one super small part of the spec doesn't seem like a good idea.
