The Privacy Interest Group (PING) Group Note Mitigating Browser Fingerprinting in Web Specifications Best Practice 3 states: "Where a feature does contribute to the fingerprinting surface, indicate that impact, by explaining the effect (and any known implementer mitigations) and marking the relevant section with a fingerprinting icon, as this paragraph is." and provides code that can be used.

While conducting privacy reviews, we have realised that it would also be helpful if specifications marked where a feature might expose accessibility tools in a similar way. I would like to suggest that the W3C team (or other interested persons) develop an appropriate icon and tooling to enable working groups to add this mark to specifications.

Infra, (then bikeshed, and respec) would need updates.

There is no support yet in Respec or bikeshed for the fingerprinting icon, as far as I can tell - there's a hint that maybe it's something that should be in W3C stylesheets instead though. Ref w3c/tr-design#162
