The Working Group is currently discussing what sort of guidance to provide
1426+
for decoy values. It has been suggested that decoy values are, in general,
1427+
harmful to this specification's privacy characteristics. However, the group
1428+
has not provided a complete analysis and thorough review for that assertion.
1429+
The analysis might result in some use cases where decoy values are helpful, or
1430+
might conclude that decoy values are, in general, harmful. Further
1431+
thought is currently being put into the language around decoy values and
1432+
it is expected that this language will be finalized during the Candidate
1433+
Recommendation phase.
