You may consider this bullshit, but you're wrong. You are confusing
privacy with data protection. These are completely different things.
The former is concerned with the disclosure of data. The latter deals
with what happens to that (non-private) data when it is disclosed.

My credit history is confidential. But under the Data Protection
legislation, I'm entitled to find out what data my bank is storing
about me and get that corrected if it's wrong. There are rules about
how the bank can process that information and what use it gets put to.
That's in addition to the non-disclosure protections.

AFAIK, nobody was talking about violating any law. I just pointed out
that ENUM will cause "personal data" to be published in the DNS. In
the context that EU Data Protection law defines that term: ie
something that identifies a living person. If that personal data gets
stored on computers in the EU, the use of that data is subject to the
provisions of EU Data Protection legislation. That, Richard, is not
bullshit. It's a fact.
