its just getting vendors to actually do it.

Good ideas... and yeah... the browser vendors have a financial incentive to build mechanisms to collect anything and everything. Javascript itself exposes so much more fingerprinting possibilies.

That's also why I think it's so terrible for Google's Chrome to have like practically all the market share. G can now drive the whole web in a way that's good for them and bad for us.
