 You're right, on a more technical level we need to tighten some
 definitions. Unfortunately, the underlying implementation for each
 identifier storage is not always uniform between FQDNs versus
 subdomains. But, this could just mean we take the loosest definition.
 Ie, in most cases mail.google.com can track you on
 encrypted.google.com, but mail.google.com can't track you on
 www.twitter.com.
