I did not include my last question in the bugzilla issue:

Since it may be too late now to add a major section to the Primer, 
has the WG considered a separate WG Note that would provide more 
detail about what it means to be a "policy-aware client"?  The phrase 
"policy-aware client" is used, but I think there is probably more to 
say about them.
