this is an old issue raised by Amex in 2001 I think. The group rejected 
the attempt of a declaration meaning "we may collect". For those 
wanting to be precise, they can only mention the sub-elements and not 
over-declare. For those making broad statements, unless wallet-software 
is involved- a P3P user agent can't know what is actually collected 
(from many sources) and has to assume that the declared data is 
collected some way or another. 

So I am reluctant to change that.

Best,
