I largely agree with Evgeny on this. I’m fine with having a single line drawing attention to potential requirements (like the "The availability of deletion might be a requirement in jurisdictions where users have a right to have their data deleted on request.” in the PR), but I don’t think this normative language is the right thing to do. /K _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: [email protected] _______________________________________________
