I don't think it does either, for the record.  However, this points out
how bad wording has left us in a situation where we're not sure /what/
the policy text means--much less whether we agree with it.

If you can provide examples of transfers you both do and don't wish to
allow, I'll be happy to come up with wording to express your intent.  As
