Privacy is not simply a legal issue, it's a general social concern. Our 
privacy policy should not be treated as merely a legal document, it's an 
effort to express part of our social compact. Unless it's a matter of 
interpreting legal regulations somewhere else, I consider the developers 
equally competent to address privacy issues. If Brion or Tim or Domas 
identify an issue, they don't need to run to Mike every time to check 
that it really is something that should be addressed.
