[Ndn-interest] NDN protocol principles: no privacy?

[Luca Muscariello]

To my understanding, principles are rules that are mutually exclusive
and from which other rules can be derived.

They are not axioms though. You can disagree.

In the case of privacy, even if you run the network in such default mode,
this cannot be a principle as I cannot derive non private communications
from private communications unless I negate the principle. So  It's not a
principle.

Requiring security on data seems like a principle though as you can build
on this to create private and non private communications.
