The attendee lists aren't usually published by most organizations until
during or after the event. I would agree that pre-event publication is not
a good idea. But, of course, speakers and well-known attendees still
can't control that information and how unscrupulous people might use it.
Your best bet is an alarm system on your home.
But transparancy is important. The list has to be made available.

out of having your name published as being away from home for a week:

I think opt-out is the way to go. If people are concerned about how
"open" the IETF is they are welcome to come along or join a list :)
