I can see this as being an option for debugging, but making it
mandantory for use in forensic analysis of "inappropriateness"
by end users is simply outside the scope of protocol development.

Unless I've missed something (which is certainly possible), the draft may want to suggest how the OPES architecture will respond to the following IAB consideration:

   (3.1) Notification: The overall OPES framework needs to assist
   content providers in detecting and responding to client-centric
   actions by OPES intermediaries that are deemed inappropriate by the
   content provider.


Section 2.6 of the draft should extend to include some form of notification of the OPES action to the originating party *when requested* by the originating party. Implicit notification mechanisms would not scale, but a content provider should be able to explicitly request notification in some form.
