Hi Andy,

in the use case where the proxy either adds a location-by-value or 
location-by-reference where would the proxy get the privacy policies 
from in the first place?

If it has the rule and wants to convey location-by-value then why 
wouldn't it just include the rules instead of putting a reference to the 
ruleset in there that has to be retrieved first.

In the Geopriv-L7 design team we were puzzled about the case where a LIS 
adds privacy rules to the PIDF-LO before signing it. In this case the 
LIS is the SIP proxy and the challenges remain the same.

Ciao
Hannes
