Pointing to external documents containing links to more specific 
Privacy Policies would entail more round trips, or at least more 
requests. Would it be possible to have a generic policy type for 
requests that don't care about these things, or would this complicate 
parsing for common cases? (I find myself thinking of XRD's as huge 
associative arrays, and remembering how annoying it was to debug code 
when I'd misjudged how deeply I had to nest [brackets] to target the 
actual values.)
