    Re-read Linus' original spec with the following things in mind:
    - we don't interpose at the system call level, rather the kernel object level
    - we tag about 8 objects
    - we have about 150 callbacks
    - we don't move the capabilities bits from the task struct to the opaque id
    - we allow active filtering
    - we discourage generic policy composition
    - we support models such as MLS, TE, DTE, RBAC, Capabilities, PBAC/TBAC
      (whatver you want to call it), etc.
    
    The fact that we don't support CAPP or LSPP standard compliant systems
    which require MAC checks before DAC checks for _auditing_ is outside the
    scope of this access control system.
    
    thanks,
