Or as later amended by Ian G. and accepted by Tyler C.:
______________________________________________
A petname toolbar records and displays the relationships between a user and 
a web site. This indication enables user detection of phishing attacks.  A 
domain name display fails to communicate this information, leaving the user 
vulnerable to a phishing attack.

I'm still in agreement with this "First point of consensus".  I'll mention 
that I've been trying to find a place to jump in to support Tyler's 
efforts, but just keeping up with the variations and nuances has consumed 
my available time.  It seems to me he's had kind of a rough road.  However, 
I hope perhaps that by dealing with the terminology/wording issues and 
clarifying the scope of the claimed consensus value was added.

Are we there yet?
