  startable but not stoppable == dangerous, -1
  stoppable but not startable == autonomous and manageable, 0

  We could define this as:

      interface Stoppable 
      { 
            void stop() throws StopException;
      }

      interface Startable : Stoppable 
      {
          void start() throws StartException;
      }

Cheers, Steve.
