Hello, Congratulations on getting a WD out. Regarding <http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-tracking-dnt-20111114/>, the draft makes liberal use of the term "cross-site." I could suggest leveraging the work happening in the IETF regarding "origin" <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-websec-origin>, if that's the intent, or concepts in DNS, if that's the intent. However, I think what you're *really* looking for is a term that's less technical and more legal / societal / organisational; something analogous to what people occasionally call "administrative domain" and which your introduction obliquely refers to using variants of the term "party." I think this distinction is important, because using a (pseudo-) technical term as the basis of DNT's semantics opens it to technical circumvention. Cheers, -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
