Repeat for as many bizarre languages as possible.

To which, I would like to add: what is meant by exclusion? Will no information about anything to do with the website, not even the URL, go anywhere near any part of the Layer 7 system. What are the technical details of the exclusion? How do new sites get added to the exclusions list? Will this exclusion list availability be made public before the trial. Is there a format for providing the exclusion list? What proof is required - ownership of domains is a matter of public record and the owner and webmaster are not necessarily the same person. What effort has BT made to contact international sites so that they can be included on the omission list?
And, most important, how can websites audit whether or not their content has been used as part of the profile data source?
