If I understand Russ' comment correctly the difficulty with SPIF lies in the label equivalency concept. I think there's a better solution for dealing with the idea that parts of a policy are classified differently than others.
No. They are two separate concerns.Mapping labels between two different policies. Hopefully this can be avoided altogether in the NFS context.
Some label values are not releasable to clients that do not have access to data associated with that label. This one is a real-world problem, and it leads to different clients having different subsets of the SPIF if this community that is being supported has this requirement in their policy.
