mm1: Daniel, can you provide more detail on how you think this proposal 
separates us from AIN given this statement (in "NOBI"):

An alternative with one or more assertions indicates behaviors implied by those, and only those assertions. If a policy alternative does not specify a behavior then the alternative means the behavior is not applied.
  

And, even if x.vocabulary is deleted, what has changed substantively 
changed from what we had before? Thanks.
