The spec needs to make it clear that it is unsafe to delegate access to
these properties.

smf could probably use a mechanism to make it harder to screw up access
to critical properties like this.

A single coherent source for "what should be allowed on this system"
which comes from a single origin.  You are likely to lose that coherance
when you take the policy, salami-slice it, and spread it through a bunch
of service properties.
