hmm, so we expanded the single sentence fragment describing the
existence of policy into a paragraph and got this...

should we explicitly say that the work of the group will include
defining a non-exhaustive list of places in the protocol where policy
may be inserted?

so we would get something like this instead:

"Regions and  services implemented according to  the specifications
may be deployed by separate  organizations with varying policies and
trust domains.  The OGPX  protocols will  provide the  mechanisms  for
these virtual world  services to interoperate, when permitted  by
policy and  shared trust domains. To support the exegesis of the
specifications, the group may define a non-exhaustive set of
non-normative policies protocol participants may enforce."

so the idea here is that if it makes sense to define a policy for the
purpose of explaining the protocol, we will. but just because a policy
is described does not mean it must be implemented or that policies
other than the ones included in the text are invalid.

thoughts?
