    In the talks I give and docs I write, I try to use little-p policy to
    mean a general thing, and uppercase-p Policy or PolicySet to refer to
    the tags (like Anne suggested). I think this generally works well, but I
    agree that in a specification it could be confusing (I guess this is a
    matter of taste <g>).
    
    I think the big/little p idea is fine. I think that using a different
    term is also fine, though I'm not crazy about "policy element" just
    because that sounds to me like something that goes inside a policy (like
    a Rule or a Target). If we go with a new term, how about "abstract
    policy" or "general policy" or something more along those lines? Just a
    thought (I'm not tied to these ideas)
