So there’s currently [a thread about the issue of private fields](https://forum.openreferral.org/t/handling-confidential-addresses-in-hsds-3-0/243/27), and to a certain extent this seems to be related to implementation guidance that we could give pertaining to that (proposed) feature.

Otherwise, these seem like they may perhaps be implementation-level issues that’d presumably need to be addressed by data governance processes as per the responsibility of any given directory maintainer.
