We worked on the postal question. We considered the question of postal
address conventions where there are little that is "conventional".

Really?

So there is no architectural principle present, something that arises
in our requirements, hence in our choices of mechanisms, that causes
us to attempt to distinguish between a person and a non-person.

If, instead of personally identifying information, EPP provisioned a
SRS with the GPS data for mountain tops, or the ranges for Spring Tides
at select points on the coast of Maine, the "treat[ment] for purposes
of data disclosure" would be indistinguishable from what we were close
to agreement was necessary and sufficient.

I don't want to leave this stone unturned, so here it is again.

We've already done postal. It is in the archives.

So there is your "second order threats". What are they?
