Thanks for pointing this out.  We didn't see the BY clause IP/hostname
as serious of a problem, since it is the entity who owns that IP address
who puts the line in there.  If that entity doesn't want its own IP
address in there, it could lie.  The FROM clause contains the IP address
of someone else, who the entity isn't necessarily authorized to store
and forward IP address information about, so it is more problematic.
But I agree that both concerns are relevant and that the document should
allow, and probably encourage, not leaking any of the IP addresses.
