Re ISSUE-26: When a 3rd party becomes a 1st party

In http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/drafts/tracking-compliance.html#third-party-compliance:

The statement "In addition, a domain that hosts a third-party visible
widget or window that is clearly identified and branded as being
controlled and operated by a party separate and distinct from the
first party becomes a first party itself when a user engages in
"meaningful interaction" with the window or widget." is unclear.

I believe this is intending to say: "In addition, a third-party domain
providing content presented in a visible widget or window, clearly
identified and branded as being controlled and operated by a party
separate and distinct from the first party, becomes a first party
itself when a user engages in "meaningful interaction" with the window
or widget."

With this meaning, the intent of what I was expressing on the call can
be better understood. DNT should not prevent sites from providing
personalized service, if the site is acting as a 1st party in any
context (as the site directly visited by the user, or a 3rd party site
with content hosted on the visited site).
