 ## Honesty ## {#honesty}
 
-A user agent is responsible to explain to its user what's going on,
-in terms that user is likely to be able to understand.
-These explanations should happen at appropriate times and frequencies,
-so that they actually help the user understand
-instead of interrupting and distracting the user.
+A user agent must mediate between the Web and its user,
+explaining what is happening in a form the user can understand.
 
+A user agent may use multiple approaches for explanations, including
+text, permission prompts, indicators, previews, placement and emphasis, and other cues.
+
+These explanations serve the duty of honesty:
+they should truthfully represent the current state and likely consequences,
+avoid euphemism or ambiguity,
+and make it obvious when sensitive activity is occurring
+(e.g., a clear indicator while audio/video capture is active).
+
+The user agent should choose when and how often to show these explanations,
+so explanations arrive when helpful and inform rather than distract,
+helping the user make informed choices.
