Comment:

 I realized the adversary model doesn't mention "Correlate activity across
 multiple site visits" as one of the adversary goals. This is the primary
 goal of the ad networks, though. We need to explicitly mention it in the
 Adversary Goals section for completeness.

 Additionally, it occurs to me that I should probably sit down and actually
 make an example context menu for my mockup privacy UI. It would contain
 choices such as:
  * Remove all site history and data        [mapped to delete key]
  * Clear Tracking Data
  * Protect site data during New Identity
  * ------------
  * Block advertising from site
  * Beg site for privacy (aka "Do Not Track")
  * Allow Plugins and other Media Content

 The reason to put the beggar's header, the adblocker, and the plugin
 control on a per site basis is to avoid the fingerprinting due to global
 prefs.

 I still hate the beggar's header and dislike the adblocker ideas, but
 siloing them per url bar at least mitigates the damage they can do. The
 per-site adblocker might also drive per-site incentive for ads to not suck
 more than a global adblocker would.
