Sheesh, okay EBW, "no one suggested doing it - on our mailing list." ;) ;)

(I'm joking.  But, really, the implementation is news to me - it 
hasn't been mentioned in the group.)

As for the answer to most of the other points, the reason why you 
(now = Joesph Reagle) might not be seeing the expected detail is that 
we as a group are at a loss in defining what privacy means to us.

Given the scope of what we are accomplishing, a full determination of 
privacy is considered to be too much work within our venue.  We are 
settling on some mechanisms that we can only hope (at this time) will 
support a sufficiently large realm of interested parties.

I mention this because you ask about disputes, remedies, etc.  Those 
are things definitely beyond what we can afford to consider in our 
problem space.

PS - I should add that although a deeper discussion of privacy is 
somewhat beyond our (= IETF provreg WG) hopes given time and 
resources, questions on the topic are within scope.  It just might 
take some time to answer them.
