  C. Higher layers of application will govern compliance

     reasonable superset of features required for Suite-B

     is out of scope.

In other words, A and B are really C+policies.

Unless I misunderstand, isn't A really the same as C (or to be very accurate, isn't A a possible implementation of C?)
