Sorry, I must not have made myself clear.  I am not saying that loss or
alteration of information is unimportant.  Rather, I am pointing out
that that is just about _all_ that the Orange Book addresses.  Security
for most people should address all the stuff (well most) of the stuff
in the Orange Book _plus_ availability issues (and others).

Cheers,
