Whilst that is true I don't think we should be required to deal with issues 
that are generic to HTTP itself (and in some cases already covered in the 
base HTTP specs - e.g. server log information). Once I get a chance to look 
over Daniel's comments in depth (and a big thank you to him for taking the 
time to do a through analysis), I will try and propose some text for a 
Privacy Considerations section - the first statement in that will be a 
reference to the various sections in the 7230-7234 document suite that are 
relevant. There will be issues specific to tzdist that we definitely need 
to address.
