wrt consent in a response, is it conceivable that an RP would interpret 
a consent value of 'current-explicit' differently than a value of 
'current-implicit' or 'prior', ie using the former as an indicator of 
attribute freshness because of the implied active user involvement?

Stretching I acknowledge ....
