I have compiled a list of comments on the draft, below. I hope that some or all of them are useful to you in this laudable endeavor, and that even those comments you disagree with may lend some insight into those aspects of the presentation which may lead to a misunderstanding. Thank you for your work.
1) There is an apparent oversight of including classification/dissemination for data subject to collateral agreements other than FVEY, e.g. NATA classification, bilateral agreements, etc.
2) It is unclear whether the classification metadata element is the classification of the data or the classification of the metadata associated with the data. In either case, there probably needs to be metadata designating the classification/dissemination caveats for the data AND the metadata, particularly the description.
3) The Description column for the Releasability row has a grammatical flaw.
4) Cache Time to Live -- a clock time, UTC, or a time period (in which case the time of the cache needs to be made a metadata element).
5) A generalization of (4) above, a scrub needs to be performed for all of the metadata elements for which a particular format is required -- another example would be "date consented" the date metadata needs to be consistently parsed, and should be based on a standard (for example, the date at the international date-line). "No restrictions" is too vague for many of these elements.
6) While the use cases focus on access control, not all of the metadata elements are focused on access control. What other use cases should be included (which hints at what other metadata tags are required)? For instance, for intelligence estimates, a confidence level would be important.
