(Apologies for all the posts. Just trying to keep the threads separate for 
commenting.)

It's important to acknowledge that many Advanced policies will required 
information about the message beyond just the Policy identifier. An example 
from the export control world: An email may be governed by the ITAR policy, 
however, access control decisions are made based ITAR and the specific export 
license or agreement that applies to the message. Simply identifying that the 
document is export controlled doesn't given the PDP enough information to make 
a grant or deny decision.

Stated differently, an access decision is based on attributes about the 
requester, resource, environment, and action. The plasma scenarios for Advanced 
Policies should include the ability to convey attributes (labels) about the 
message (including, but not limited to the policy identifier) and attributes 
about the recipient.
