Could you give an example of a case where the protections behavior has been
surprising?

The mapping API would be a good building block to develop a tool like this,
since that implements the logic for combining and overriding lines in a complex
map, but you'd still need a good understanding of the different permissions
levels to be able to build the map correctly.
