Wouldn't it be odd to consider that text after WGLC?

The spec says "such as" local-parts of email addresses, in
parentheses.  It is a way to indicate by example --apparently better
than the "atomistic" wordings we tried.

Some full examples of redacted messages would better the I-D.

Indeed, in the text I sent for consideration, I tried to identify
further PII explicitly.

Since it is not PII, it can be safely left in place.  (Please note
that "safely" addresses legal concerns, not security.)  Having domain
names is often necessary to process messages properly.  Hence, leaving
them alone allows treatment even without full un-redacting
capabilities, which is consistent with the claim that ARF messages are
also human-readable.
