Okay,
So why should reinevent a standard when one that serves functionally the same purpose with one of implied consent?
Edit: my problem isn't robots.txt. It's implied consent.
If you are ever thinking, I wonder if I should ask, the answer is always yes. Doesn't matter the situation. If you are not 1000% sure you have consent, you don't. That's just my ethics.
If you want to propose a new standard, go nuts. But implied consent is not it.
