ahh, but who is the policy consumer, in a case of privacy policy there are
2 consumers, so who decides lax or strict ?

RE: NEW ISSUE 4130: Ignorable
assertions must be ignored
It is the policy consumer that decides which, i.e. Strict or Lax matching
to use. So, I think the consumer still has the option to ignore.

I think that this is wrong approach if we want to support "informational"
or "ignorable" assertions.

Lax only allows to ignore assertions in intersection if they are marked
as Ignorable. Strict does not look at Ignorable at all and works as the
original intersection algorithm.
