AppArmor (then called "SubDomain") showed how this worked in practice
years before the Targeted Policy came along. The Targeted Policy
implements an approximation to the AppArmor security model, but does it
with domains and types instead of path names, imposing a substantial
cost in ease-of-use on the user.
