Revised intro to explain that GPC was designed to make opt-out laws more practically workable. It is not an implicit endorsement of those models or tracking more broadly.
Clarify that GPC is universal signal broadcast to all website publishers (in vast majority of instances).

Designed to address #82 and concerns expressed at TPAC that W3C standardization of the Global Privacy Control could be interpreted as an endorsement of tracking by default or of opt-out based laws. The revised text notes that opt-out based approaches are just one possible regulatory model, and GPC should not be interpreted as an endorsement of them but as a tool to make those laws workable where they exist.
