Re: [dssa] Information classification proposal

[bmanning@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

 this is not my first pass through the grinder. :)
 the difficulty with the term confidential is that it is a
 term of art in the information classification field and its
 not clear to me that we will -ever- be handling confidential data.
 so we should come up with something else that refers to 
 -self- classified data elements that are deemed to be proscribed in
 some fashion.
