Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

I don't think there is any such document. Right now you can't distribute
policy anyway:

- The binary policy modules framework isn't fully deployed yet, or at
  least that's the impression I got last time I talked to the author

- There are no formal policy compatibility ... er ... policies, between
  distributions as far as I'm aware. So the meaning of a given bit of
  policy might change depending on the distributions specific
  implementation.

What exactly are your goals? Do you want to lock down your own program or
is this more about compatibility? 

I'm pretty interested in letting Linux software developers ship policy as
part of their own binary packages to allow for better lockdown/least priv
on systems that support it but I don't think the technology is there yet.

thanks -mike
