But in the case where the default mode is '(0) No source validation', the 
switch to mode (2) is changing to a more strict mode which can be too strict 
for a particular situation. Wouldn't it be better to only relax the mode:
0 -> 0
1 -> 2
2 -> 2
So to stay in 'No source validation' if this was set as default policy?

Thanks Urs
