Authors,

While reviewing this document during Final Review, please resolve (as 
necessary) 
the following questions, which are also in GitHub issues 
(see https://github.com/rfc-editor-drafts/FinalReview-rfc10025/issues).

1) <!-- [rfced] Please insert any keywords (beyond those that appear in
the title) for use on https://www.rfc-editor.org/search. -->


2) <!-- [rfced] We were unable to find the term "the worker's Documents" in
[HTML] as indicated in the text below. Does this item need to be updated 
accordingly?

Current:
The terms "active browsing context", "active document", "ancestor
navigables", "container document", "content navigable", "dedicated
worker", "Document", "inclusive ancestor navigables", "navigable",
"navigate", "opaque origin", "sandboxed origin browsing context flag",
"shared worker", "the worker's Documents", "top-level traversable",
and "WorkerGlobalScope" are defined in [HTML].
-->


3) <!--[rfced] May we clarify "choose Section 4" and "choose Section 5"
as follows?

Original:
An implementer should choose Section 4 whenever cookies are created
and will be sent to a user agent, such as a web browser.
...
An implementer should choose Section 5 whenever cookies are primarily
received from another source. 

Perhaps:
An implementer should implement the requirements described in Section 4
whenever cookies are created and will be sent to a user agent, such as
a web browser.
...
An implementer should implement the requirements described in Section 5
whenever cookies are primarily received from another source. 
--> 


4) <!-- [rfced] Section 5.2.1: Is "(document)" in the text below redundant? If
so, may we remove it?

Original:

Given a Document (document), the following algorithm returns its
"site for cookies":

Perhaps:

Given a Document, the following algorithm returns its
"site for cookies":
-->


5) <!-- [rfced] How may we make the second sentence below a complete sentence?
(Note that we have included the first sentence for context.)

Original:

Additionally the server is vulnerable to an attacker that
purposefully miscapitalizes a cookie in order to impersonate a
prefixed cookie. For example, a site already has a cookie __Secure-
SID=12345 and by some means an attacker sends the following Set-
Cookie header field for the site to a UA which checks prefixes case-
sensitively.

Perhaps:

Additionally, the server is vulnerable to an attacker that purposefully
miscapitalizes a cookie in order to impersonate a prefixed cookie. An
example of this is if a site already has a cookie __Secure- SID=12345 and
by some means an attacker sends the following Set-Cookie header field for
the site to a UA that checks prefixes case-sensitively.

-->


6) <!--[rfced] It is unclear how "for user agents configured to reject
'public suffixes'" fits into the rest of the sentence. May we update
as follows for clarity?

Original:
- The cookie's domain is not a public suffix, for user agents
configured to reject "public suffixes".

Perhaps:
- The cookie's domain is not a public suffix, as user agents
are configured to reject "public suffixes".
--> 


7) <!-- [rfced] FYI - We have added "are" to the sentences below to make them
complete sentences. Please review to confirm this update is accurate.

Original:

Some partition cookies based upon the first-party context, so that
different cookies are sent depending on the site being browsed. Some
block cookies based upon user agent cookie policy and/or user
controls.

Current:

Some partition cookies are based upon the first-party context, so
that different cookies are sent depending on the site being browsed.
Some block cookies are based upon user agent cookie policy and/or user
controls.

-->


8) <!-- [rfced] FYI - We have added "they are" to the text below. Please review
to confirm this update is accurate.

Original:

This differs from the handling of other reload navigations,
which are always same-site if top-level, since the source navigable's
active document is precisely the document being reloaded.

Current:

This differs from the handling of other reload navigations,
which are always same-site if they are top level, since the source navigable's
active document is precisely the document being reloaded.

-->


9) <!--[rfced] FYI - We have updated the "Cookie" and "Set-Cookie" registrations
in the IANA Considerations section per RFC 9110. They also now better reflect
what appears at 
<https://www.iana.org/assignments/http-fields/http-fields.xhtml>.
Please review these changes and let us know of any concerns. 
-->


10) <!-- [rfced] Please review whether any of the notes in this document
should be in the <aside> element. It is defined as "a container for 
content that is semantically less important or tangential to the 
content that surrounds it" 
(https://authors.ietf.org/en/rfcxml-vocabulary#aside).
If this update is desired, these changes will be made upon RFCXML conversion.
-->


11) <!-- [rfced] Please review the type/language attribute of each sourcecode
block in the file to ensure correctness. We note that "example" is used in a
few instances, but it is not on the current list of preferred values:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rpc/wiki/doku.php?id=sourcecode-types.
Let us know how these may be updated. Also, it is acceptable to leave the
language tag blank. 

In addition, review each artwork block. Specifically, should any be converted
into a sourcecode block or another format?
-->


12) <!--[rfced] Abbreviations

a) FYI - We have added expansions for abbreviations upon first use per
Section 3.6 of RFC 7322 ("RFC Style Guide"). Please review each expansion
in the document carefully to ensure correctness.

b) We note this document switches between using the expanded ("user agents")
and abbreviated ("UAs") forms of this term. For consistency, may we update all
instances to use the expanded form "user agents"?
-->


13) <!-- [rfced] Terminology:

a) We note different uses of quotation marks for the following terms. Please
review and let us know how to update for consistency across the document:

same-site vs. "same-site"
cross-site vs. "cross-site"
same-site-flag vs. "same-site-flag"


b) We also note the following differences in some terms throughout the document
and plan to update as follows. As such, please review and let us know any 
objections:

i) We plan to remove the hyphen from the term below for consistency with the
reference [SAMESITE] (and retain the hyphen when used attributively).

same-site vs. same site

ii) We plan to remove the quotes and fixed-width font from attribute and
header field names.

iii) We plan to add fixed-width font around all example links.
-->


14) <!-- [rfced] Please review the following questions regarding the references 
in
this document:

a) [USASCII]: 

Please review. The series number for the ASCII Standard has changed. It is now
known as "INCITS 4-1986".

See: https://blog.ansi.org/ansi/ansi-art-ascii-art-iso-standards-x3-64/

"In 1996, the Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X3 became the
ANSI-accredited standards developing organization INCITS, so ANSI
X3.4-1986 was redesignated INCITS 4-1986. The current standard for ASCII
is INCITS 4-1986 (R2022): Information Systems – Coded Character Sets –
7-Bit Standard Code For Information Interchange (7-Bit ASCII)."

We have updated this reference to point to the INCITS version.

Original:
[USASCII] American National Standards Institute, "Coded Character
Set - 7-bit American Standard Code for Information
Interchange", ANSI X3.4, 1986.

Current:
[USASCII] INCITS, "Information Systems - Coded Character Sets -
7-Bit Standard Code for Information Interchange (7-Bit
ASCII)", INCITS 4-1986 (R2022), 2022,
<https://webstore.ansi.org/standards/incits/
incits1986r2022>.

b) [app-isolation]:

The original URL for this reference leads to a 404
error. We found an open-access version of this paper in ACM Digital
Library. We have updated this reference to use the ACM DL URL. Please let
us know if you have any objections.

c) [prerendering]: 

The URL for this reference redirects to a page with a
different title and author. It seems similar, but isn't an exact match. Is
this still the correct article for this reference?

Original URL: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/prerender
Redirected URL: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/prerender-pages

Note: We found the following URL that appears to match the original title of 
this reference:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/playground/chromium-org-site/+/refs/heads/main/developers/design-documents/prerender/index.md.
However, it is missing the author information from the original reference.

Possible update:

Original:
[prerendering] Bentzel, C., "Chrome Prerendering",
<https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/prerender>.

Redirected URL:
[prerendering] Pollard, B., "Prerender pages in Chrome for instant
page navigations", 2 December 2022,
<https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/prerender-pages>.

URL matching title:
[prerendering] "Chrome Prerendering",
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/playground/chromium-org-site/+/refs/heads/main/developers/design-documents/prerender/index.md>.
