Those sections are marked as PENDING REVIEW in the document, and the
particular issue we are talking about now (ISSUE-123) is still OPEN.

Since neither of you are on the hook to implement this, I suggest
you pay attention to my concerns: I object to this wording if it
includes third parties acting as a first party.  A third-party acting
as a first-party may present itself as the first-party because it is
already constrained by the section defining "acting as a first-party".
