+ * A deny rule is like a neverallow rule, except that permissions are
+ * removed rather than an error reported.
+ *
+ * (allow S1 T1 P1)
+ * (deny  S2 T2 P2)
+ *
+ * First, write the allow rule with all of the permissions not in the deny rule
+ * P3 = P1 and not P2
+ * (allow S1 T1 P3)
+ *
+ * Obviously, the rule is only written if P3 is not an empty list. This goes
+ * for the rest of the rules as well--they are only written if the source and
+ * target exist.
+ *
+ * The remaining rules will only involve the common permissions
+ * P4 = P1 and P2
+ *
+ * Next, write the allow rule for any types in S1 that are not in S2
+ * S3 = S1 and not S2
+ * (allow S3 T1 P4)
+ *
+ * Finally, write any allow rules needed to cover the types in T1 that are
+ * not in T2. Since, T1 and T2 might be "self", "notself", or "other", this
+ * requires more complicated handling. Any rule with "self" will not match
+ * a rule with either "notself" or "other".
+ *
+ * if (T1 is self and T2 is self) or (T1 is notself and T2 is notself) then
+ *   Nothing more needs to be done.
+ *
+ * The rest of the rules will depend on the intersection of S1 and S2
+ * which cannot be the empty set since the allow and deny rules match.
+ * S4 = S1 and S2
+ *
+ * if T1 is notself or T1 is other or T2 is notself or T2 is other then
