The developer misunderstands the meaning of the attribute. It is simply a
flag to set whenever an application has cleaned a document for personally
identifiable information (PII). It is only a help and not an assurance that
it has happened. If the flag was not there, the application would have to
traverse the entire document to check for PII - but now it only needs to
check this flag.
As the specification says: (from the article)
"If this flag is set, the application warns the user any time the user
performs do an action that will insert PII into the document. For example,
inserting a comment might inserts the user's name."
