That is what I wrote in the last part of my mail - this is a possible
scenario, but for this another important piece is lacking, cause it's
not efficient, and tedious, and therefore again a thread to security
to have to bring the policy manually to all xen servers in a
distributed setup with automated load balancing -  manual actions
always call for human errors, e.g. forgetting to copy the changed
policy to one important host!

So, currently, sHype must be seen more like experimental, and should
be marked as this in the manual - with a note on the scenario in which
it will be useful one day if the full distributed security framework
is available.
If it would be documented like this, it would eventually even draw
developers who are interested in helping with the missing parts.
