[Open-data-census] Asset Disclosure details

It seems that none of the existing cities (eg, San Francisco, Anchorage, 
Sacramento, Louisville, etc) that say they have posted open Asset 
Disclosure data have met the description.

All contain top level employee's salaries only.

No other info on top-level government officials, like investment 
information, prior and current business relationships, real estate 
interests, and personal income (including gifts and travel or speaking 
payments) is public.  Also, I'm not sure what 'top-level' covers in the 
description, or if all this data should be disclosed for non-elected 
city officials.

So my questions are:

1. Does a city have to post all of the above for Asset Disclosure to be 
valid?

2. Isn't disclosing all of that for non-elected city employees a bit of 
a privacy issue?  I don't think any city will every do this.

3. What is the definition of 'top-level'?

Thanks!
