After reading this thread, I am still unsure as to what concrete problem is being addressed. Did we not have requirements before that to be considered a single party, two sites must a) make that party relationship discoverable and b) have a legal relationship such that data flows between the sites are protected by the same obligations, duties etc. (I don't recall the phrasing). ? It seems that we need to cover the cases: * a 1st party asks for exceptions; I think it beholden on the party to explain how broadly this applies ("this permission is not just for the bogville chronicle, but all organizations in the BogNews group"). * a 3rd party wants a web-wide exception; again, the same applies - explain to the user the affected properties; * a site that the UA doesn't immediately detect as the 1st party sends the return header "I am the first party" - the UA can check that they are, or smell a rat. Under what circumstances do we need something more than (and more subjective than) (a) and (b) above (suitably phrased), to meet these needs? What does (for example) a 'branding' requirement add?
