 > Can we write this up a little more verbosely, and explain what isolation
 policy it's meant to provide?

 > If I understand you right, it would mean for every page I visit,
 everything embedded in that page, and all pages on the same site, and
 everything embedded in _them_, would be linkable, but if I visit a page on
 a different site, it would get a different circuit?

 I believe that's right. It's quite a jump from the old "isolate by time
 interval" design. Clearly an improvement -- *if* we can afford to do it.
