first off, i would supply a simple and advanced intereface, with
simple NOT giving any of these problematic terms. Let them give less
granular sets of permissions, perhaps even simply listing, as
Alistair has in his example, that the SP wants some info, and do you
want to give the info to the SP?
Let them drill down into that if they like, with a pref setting to
remember. Also, an info box on each attribute type with an easily
mod'd institutional entry to give it local context.
