Using the term 'practices' instead of policy is not going to fool

is highly loaded and has its own meaning and will cause even more

I agree that the record ONLY contains a statement by the sender that is
descriptive of sender actions.

However the record is not bound by protocol to the actual actions of the
sender and so the term 'practices' cannot be used with accuracy. What the
record specifies is in fact the intended practice.

The English term for an intended practice is 'policy'.
