Your description equating cookies and storage within a document lifetime
makes sense. Is this intended to also apply to network requests? The
first-party document already has no access to 3rd party cookies so it
shouldn't matter at that level if Necko's rules change "live". If I'm on
twitter/facebook (which make constant background requests) and I clear my
entire cookie jar those documents are going to break. If I just tossed all
my cookies that's what I want! Discovering that I'm still logged into those
sites would be disturbing. Similarly, if I flip the "block 3rd-party
cookies" pref I'm going to react negatively if I still see tracker cookies
showing up just because I've left an active page open somewhere.
