The client or server can simply "not care".
The core is not having services executed on content (sending or recieving)
that is NOT wanted!! This is the idea of having our rule based
system were these wishes can be expressed from either end
and the policy will be allow for non-delivery/service to be
given if there is conflict.

What about services that are executed only on behalf of the content
receiver? Virus scanning might be one example.
Other examples might be services that are authorized and performed on
the REQUEST issued by the content receiver (as opposed to the CONTENT
itself). Here, it seems sufficient if only the content receiver
authorizes the service.
