Chrome extension does not set window.navigator.doNotTrack

I'm not an expert, but my understanding on reading the Do Not Track documentation is that in addition to the HTTP header, the browser should set window.navigator.doNotTrack to "1" when DNT is enabled. That way Javascript code can tell that DNT has been requested. The Chrome extension doesn't set this property right now.

I have no idea if it's possible for a Chrome extension to add a property to window.navigator (and to be correct, all Navigator implementations).
