Pure wordsmithing.  Make sure this still says what you want:

2.  A human user has explicitly agreed to trust a service that provides mapping of source domains to target domains.  For example the user may trust a dedicated discovery service or identity service that securely redirects requests from the source to a target domain.  

Such an arrangement is not encouraged.  If a client supports such a service then it needs to disable it by default, and it MUST carefully warn the user about the possible negative consequences of trusting such a service.
