Web sites may request new items of information that they want from the user (e.g., household income) that is not included in the standard P3P profile. It is possible that many web sites will request additional items, and thus inundate the user with many prompts to fill in such information. There is no regulation as to this process, but again, it is in the best interest of web sites not to needlessly trouble the user, because the user ultimately may choose not to use P3P at all.
It is possible that multiple web sites may request the same information, but call them different names (e.g. foot size or shoe size). The user might be faced with filling out identical bits of information for different web sites. However, there are ways around this, namely improving the logic in the browser to check for similar bits of information, or making it easier for web site authors to re-use names that are commonplace.
