Understandable.  I honestly have similar reservations.

One thing that clouds this a little, as far as our draft is concerned,
is that the ISP's CPE already knows this information so in a sense it
isn't that a different party is being informed.

What I'm trying to accomplish with this draft is acknowledge the
practical realities that this sort of option is already in use on the
Internet and will continue to be used no matter what the WG does about
either of our drafts.  I also wanted to drag the PII issues out into
the open, into one place where they would have to be confronted by
implementers and operators.

I fear that a splintered effort on including full client-identifying
information in several different ways is going to lead to problematic
fragmentation and harder management.
