 WordPress core and plugin can surely provide tools to help with this
 process but I don't think that it should try and tell them if it thinks a
 plugin is or isn't complying with something which seems to be where this
 is leading.

 I hope not - the intention here was ONLY to what extent a plugin
 integrates with the core privacy tools, not whether it complies to any
 particular law.

 we can't and shouldn't try and imply we can do all the work for you.

 Agreed! That's why I want to use these headers to drive the UI for #43938
