My honest answer is that nobody objected to the additions, but there was
not what I would call enthusiasm for them, either.  In fact it took the
privacy review from Daniel to really get the ball rolling.  But I think
it's important for the WG to comment right now if people believe the
changes are onerous or will substantially impede implementation or
deployment.
