If we were to support transitivity—an issue that's still in the air—why make it mandatory?  Why not make it optional?

I'm not sure if it's necessary if we restrict things to "first-party/*" but if you want to list out "first-party/third-party" explicit/explicit exceptions, I believe it would be necessary for things like advertising networks to function.

This applies transitively, meaning that if in a given context "Site A" is a third party and has an exception, if it redirects to "Site B" then "Site B" is covered by that exception, as would "Site C" if "Site B" either included content from or redirected to "Site C".
