[JRE] I would interpret privacy 'none' in RFC 3323 as meaning that a downstream entity must not anonymise or remove any information that the UAC has already placed in the request. If a downstream entity chooses:
- not to add H-I,
- to add anonymised H-I, or
- to anonymise an H-I entry that some intermediate entity has added,
I don't see that as being in violation of what the UAC has requested.
