    Hi Brian,
    
    FYI, the DE contains a ContentKeyword in the ContentObject  element which
    might be a valid usage of this element in context of wrapping and
    distributing a warning message.
    
    You're correct that it doesn't define categories.  But if usage policies
    were defined and then categories were to be defined, agreed to and
    maintained under governance in an accessible location, ContentKeyword
    provides a consistent application of those categories. 
    
    I'm sure valid debate may ensue, but this is one reason this type of
    flexibility was built into the DE.  I'm only suggesting this be considered
    as an existing available solution / usage of the DE rather than discounting
    it as an option up front.
