Sub-fields for "Privacy Policy pertaining to specific requests"?

Could you explain a little more in detail, please?

    <Service>
        <Type>http://openid.net/policies/privacy/1.0</Type>
        <URI>http://example.com/privacy.htm</URI>

<Specific-Type>http://openid.net/policies/privacy/PII/1.0</Specific-Type>
        <URI>http://example.com/privacy-pii.htm</URI>
        ...

    </Service>
</XRD>

Pointing to external documents containing links to more specific Privacy Policies would entail more round trips, or at least more requests. Would it be possible to have a generic policy type for requests that don't care about these things, or would this complicate parsing for common cases? (I find myself thinking of XRD's as huge associative arrays, and remembering how annoying it was to debug code when I'd misjudged how deeply I had to nest [brackets] to target the actual values.)
