in rule based systems you have a decision tree with EITHER pattern match OR exception to pattern match
SSP at a glance appears to be a rule based policy engine. Exception as opposed
to Suspicious emphasizes that.
Receivers can base their policy on SSP in a similar manner.
Your definition of exception is a bit more constrained than called for within
the profession:

Suspicious is a description of an exception that may or may not be accurate.

Suspicious is not so much a "description" as a quality opinion.
