Nor do I think you should be worrying too much about them here. They
are clearly out of the realm of what a network protocol can address.
Some agent in our model will act as owner of the location
information. How that is delegated legally or by social convention
is completely out of our reach. The best we can do is assume some
agent in the network will act as owner and develop a means to assure
the owner only transmits the information he intends.

If we continue to engage in a philosophical discussion of "who is the
owner?" we'll get no where.

I am equally concerned about the issues you raise, Kenji.
Understanding them and resolving them is extremely important. But
they are not questions we can answer in the context of the IETF.
