But it may be actionable if *in the same transaction* you promised me you were doing X, and actually you were not (e.g. you promised you adhered to a rule that said "must not record IP address" and it later turns out my IP address is in your database). We need the 'must' to make not actionable, even if it's not testable. David Singer Multimedia and Software Standards, Apple Inc.
