Ideally it should be possible to add extra conditions to each rule, such
as authenticated vs non-authenticated.  I don't see any easy way of
grafting that on, though.  The problem with this is that 'a' lines work
only one way (what if a 'z' was desired?).

The problem with a single selector is that it throws away the sender vs
recipient selector for the following lines.

What would probably work better is to allow either multiple selectors on
a single line (ie ":authenticated:sender"), or have :authenticated (and
a correspodning :unauthenticated) work independantly of :sender vs
:recipient.

Which makes more sense to you?
