access: judged by the policy written under
The rules read the policy at the change's dependencies only for strict mode, so history from before the policy was judged by today's rules when a late node caught up, or when REFUSALS had it judged again. A change written while the document had no policy, or one this node doesn't know, is now judged by none. Review finding 6.
