Yes, the goal is to make this mandatory behavior in the spec, so that it would be consistent across implementors.  The goal isn't to make life harder for folks already trying to protect privacy, but to make sure that correctly and throughly implementing the spec itself ensures a privacy-preserving environment (w/o having to resort to additional, non-standardized behaviors).

I'm not familiar with this, but if I can be helpful in coming up with a privacy-friendly approach here, please let me know; happy to help however i can
