[JRE] As discussed at the meeting, for a small enterprise the domain
name is almost certainly critical. Somebody might guess the particular
caller, or maybe just knowing the name of the enterprise is information
you don't want to disclose. Even for a large enterprise, the caller
might be guessed if the callee only knows one person or a small number
of people from that enterprise. I would say that for an enterprise the
domain name is very likely to be critical privacy-sensitive information.
I agree that for a sizeable service provider it might not be critical.
