This question is not really an "essential point" in my opinion as there is a big difference between hiding postal addresses and hiding abuse email addresses and route(6) objects. I would argue that a postal address is very rarely needed in the context of networks while abuse email addresses and route(6) objects are important to the operation of many networks.
"very rarely" doesn't mean it is never needed. After phone calls don't work, e-mails which aren't answered, the last resort is to send a letter with delivery notification to a postal address. And yes, we already had to do that before "pulling a cable", just to be totally in line with our local/national laws. The postal address is the "last line". It can be argued if it could be optional or mandatory, but it should undoubtably be part of the database's structure. Best Regards, Carlos (Security Team/CSIRT hat=on)
