RE: QPIM

That is an acceptable solution, but I am not sure it is the best 
solution.  We actually can represent access control lists (since we have 
classifiers and droppers).  I had thought that was want was intended by the 
reference to the access control policies in the current abstract.  Hence I 
was suggesting referring in the abstract to mechanisms for supporting 
access control policies.
