If the Export setting Remove Person Info is selected, a keyword with the Person attribute will be exported if it isn't associated with a face rectangle.  To reproduce:

1. Create a keyword John.

2. Edit the keyword and check the Person attribute.

3. Assign the keyword to a photo.

4. Export the photo to disk with Include: All Metadata and Remove Person Info selected.

5. Use ExifTool to verify that the keyword John was exported.

Tested on LR CC 2015.12 / OS X 10.12.6 and Windows 10.

    Remove Person Info removes Person keywords if they are associated with the face rectanges created by face recognition.  But if they're not associated with face rectangles, they don't get removed.

    I think people want to remove the Person keywords regardless of whether they're associated with faces or not.  E.g. https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2382531

    So the export setting removes the Face-detection info but not Person-attributed keywords.

    Maybe the option should be entitled Remove Face Info or is that still not quite right?

    And is there a need for removing the Person info aside from any Face-detection info?
