Wrt privacy in general...

I'd welcome that discussion. I'd love to see us have a
BCP61-like [1] RFC on the topic of privacy and I also
reckon that that'd help short-cut a number of IETF LCs
and IESG DISCUSSes. (For example the Forwarded HTTP
header and WebFinger both caused extensive discussions.)

FWIW, my personal preference would be that such a BCP
would attempt to make our work be more privacy friendly
and by default though I'm not quite how how best to try
achieve that though.

But, even if the outcome wasn't a BCP along the lines
I'd prefer, I think such a beast would still be worth
having if it meant we could avoid a whole lot of these
kinds of similar discussions on individual drafts.
