Sure. I ran with "Strict"/"Lax" as they made the most sense to me (and
because "Unsafe" in this context seems wrong: `SameSite=Unsafe` is _safer_

Details in the -06 draft at
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-west-first-party-cookies-06. Feedback
ever so welcome (especially feedback that went to the HTTP WG, as mnot@, et
