> A legitimate site does not depend on a third-party cookie to handle features or login. At all

Sites which use Disqus, or similar, for comments.

I hate Disqus with a passion and wish horrible flaming death upon it, and am actually quite pleased that this will break it. But nonetheless it's a "legit" use of third-party cookies to provide a feature (remembering login on an embedded commenting engine).

You can do it with IFRAME and postMessage communication. (Have the internal IFRAME send out resize data, and that's all you need to handle from the host page.)

As a newspaper developer, let me tell you, a horrible flaming death isn't good enough for it.
The Mozilla comments system recently discussed on HN is a clear alternative.
