Some of that seems OK, but a lot of it still seems unacceptable to me. Particularly, I disagree with these assertions:
> It is reasonable for the browser to relax its identity-sharing controls within that expanded notion, provided that the resulting identity scope is not too large and can be understood by the user.
> It may be OK for a site to learn the fact that a user has earned trust on another site
But, as always, my attitude about this sort of thing as that everything hinges on informed consent. If I have not given my explicit informed consent, then there is no sharing of data about me that is acceptable.
