I missed this due to all the HTML in the email...


How about this?

OLD:
"Implementers need to consider the policy and privacy implications of
returning information that was not explicitly requested."

NEW:
"Implementers need to consider the policy and privacy implications of
returning information that was not explicitly requested. Clients should
only receive information that they are explicitly authorized to receive."

AlmostвServers should only send information that clients are explicitly
authorized to receive.²

The way it is worded is impossible to "enforce."

How does this work with anonymous access to public information, which is
how this information is served today? How do I ³explicitly" authorize an
anonymous user? I think the old text above is good enough and find the
next text (both versions) to be confusing.
