<div class="gmail_extra">But those are two very different
features that aren't really related. More specifically, we
wouldn't be able to provide the guarantees documented here

<div class="gmail_extra">We currently support three levels of
local privacy:<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">* Private browsing (documented above)<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">* Forget about site. This feature
deletes some of the local data belonging to a specific host
name, which is lacking in a few ways, such as not clearing
every bit of data we write to the disk, not being aware of
origins and operating on host names instead, etc. This is
also an all or nothing deal, i.e., you can either clear all
data belonging to a site or nothing.<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">* Clear recent history. This feature
deletes some of the local data belonging to a specific time
range, which is lacking in a few ways, such as not clearing
every bit of the data like the above, and also clearing
strictly more than what the user expects (because some of the
services do not record timestamps for the data they store, so
we can only delete all of the data in such cases) and also the
origin versus host name issue above.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">It seems like the proposal there maps
to neither of these very cleanly. For example, you can't map
this to a forget about site action because then you will
forget all of the data for that site, not just the data
corresponding to the visit with the said HTTP header.
Similarly, it can't be mapped to "clear recent history" for
similar reasons.<br clear="all">
