Hi Wendy,

That's part of the SP definition which was just accepted by the group,
not specific to the issue-203 proposal.  In any case, I don't understand why
it would make the definition of SP better.  Privacy research uses the term
principal for the site owner, IIRC, so I wouldn't want to mix the two.
Contractee in this case could be a site owner, third party, or the user
(e.g., split browsers ought to be an SP relationship between the user
and the proxy owner if there is to be any privacy for that user).

Cheers,

....Roy
