In the absence of more granular metadata, I've been downgrading Policy
"should" to a warning from an error when people complain about them. (It
really should be something like source: policy, certainty: high, severity:
should with an overridable default mapping to I/W/E, so that people can
then classify on whatever combination of metadata that they need, but
we're not there yet.)
