I don't really see how a simple request system can work. What company is going to respect tracking preferences? It's not like anyone would ever find out if they didn't, and their profiling is less accurate if they do.
Browsers are already becoming bloated again. This feature only matters if it also automatically does things like: refusing to store any cookies from any related domain, and automatically disabling Flash and other plug-ins that could also perform tracking.
