John, I don't believe that was quite true. I believe you are interpreting 
Bell-LaPadua as an overall security policy, when in fact is was strictly an 
access control policy as were most COMPUSEC policies.  The US Government's 
classification system is in fact part of an access control policy.  High 
Assurance is achieved when it can be shown that the security policy for a 
platform is rigorously enforced by the security mechanisms...regardless what 
that security policy may be.  Even the access control policy which says "no 
flow down" can be "bent" in real world situations when the situation demands.  
Things are never just black and white (or perhaps I should say black and red).

The conventional COMPUSEC view of high assurance was that - it was indicated 
where the Policy had to be enforced for certain (mandatory) e.g. no flow down 
tolerated.

Single domain use cases are definitely in scope; but they are very similar
(conceptually) to existing commercial crypto APIs. The ability to separate
domains is what sets CICM apart.

See:
"2.3. Single Security Domain" in CICM Logical Model

"18. Single-Domain" in CICM Channel Management
