Re: tracking-ISSUE-270: deidentification and compliance with regulations [TCS Last Call]

As in the case of issue-268, it's understood that asserting compliance with the Tracking Compliance and Scope document does not automatically mean compliance with all relevant regulations. It's not clear why this is particularly notable for de-identification, although we do already note in the non-normative considerations section some examples of cases where de-identification procedures may not be successful.

Proposal: no change, but see ISSUE-268 for proposal of Note to documentation page.
