I seem to have missed this redesign.   I thought the plan had always been
to take the top-most policy not flagged as PSD=Y.    Taking the first
policy found is less work, but it turns subdomain policies into
organizational domain policies.  I expect that to be an unwanted surprise
to many domain owners, since the subdomain policies will typically lack an
sp clause.
