Yes, that would likely simplify the appraisal policy for attestation
results, albeit at the cost of a more "coupled" Verifier.  Perhaps,
before we start minting new ad hoc claims though, I suggest we should try to
see what can be achieved within the boundaries of the AR4SI information
model -- also adding specific new categories where appropriate (e.g.,
"key protection" seems like a useful new AR4SI bucket).
