It would be nice if there was some symmetry between the set-policy and

unset-policy and policy.
It is intentional that there is no symmetry between set-policy and
set-property, out of necessity. Namely, that properties are not
publisher specific, while policies can be.
To be more specific, requiring use of the '-n' and '-v' options allows
avoidance of ambiguous command-line usage and allows a user to set
multiple policy values in a single command.
Using a 'key value' style of parsing would not (as far as I know) permit
a sane way of setting multiple policy values using a single subcommand.
