So the web site states that they are BBB-certified in their policy:
>> From the P3P book, p.89:
...
<DISPUTES resolution-type="independent"
  service="http://www.bbbonline.org" short-description="BBBOnline">
  ...
</DISPUTES>
...

And user Alice would have the following rule in her privacy policy,
allowing her to request content from web sites that are BBB-certified:

<appel:RULE behavior="request" description="Site is BBB-certified.">
  <p3p:POLICY>
    <p3p:STATEMENT>
      <p3p:DISPUTES appel:connective="and">
        <p3p:resolution-type="independent">
        <p3p:service="http://www.bbbonline.org">
      </p3p:DISPUTES>
    </p3p:STATEMENT>
  </p3p:POLICY>
</appel:RULE>

Is that correct?

Thanks for the explanation.
