I can't see any way in which this interpretation can be valid. You'll always be able to "directly or indirectly" identify people from IP addresses. Just because I don't store IP and identity together, doesn't mean there's not many other ways to identify somebody based on an IP address.

How would one identify a person using only an IP address?
If you have "other ways to identify somebody based on an IP address" then that wouldn't meet the criteria laid out by the lawyers.

I think the concern of the regulatory agencies (valid or not) is that there are db for sale that allow extremely precise locality information based on IP. Close enough to identify a household, which combined with other data can limit the data to a single person.
