You're 100% correct here Ben, and I'm unsure why it's so hard to convey!?

If you use the same identifier for more than one request, subsequent 
requests can be associated with the first request. An identifier here is 
any identifying, stable, information - key parts and URIs.

If the issue is only unlinkability across sites, then you just have a 
keypair+uri per site. Or better, key-pair only, and that's associated 
with an identifier for the agent behind the interface.

You're correct that ACLs won't cut it.
