Additionally, while I agree its the managers responsibility to negotiate
such external details, its impractical to try to engineer that level of
policy negotiation and description into DSpace itself.  To be clear, when
working on code in DSpace, the first and foremost activity should be
engineering a content management system that is simple and works well.
 Describing higher level policies an institution or third party may have
for embargo of an object are probably better served as additional attached
Bitstreams/Licenses or additional metadata in the Item record, not explicit
ResourcePolicies used for access control.  This was not our goal in
extending them.
