New description:

 We need to prevent 3rd party domains from being able to correlate activity
 using HTTP Keep-Alive connections. We limited this linkability in #4603,

Comment:

 The NSS code is so decoupled from the rest of Firefox that I think
 expecting to re-enable TLS Session IDs after binding them to top-level
 domain is out of the question. Let's just make this ticket focus on
 binding HTTP Keepalive and SPDY to top-level domains.
