I agree that negotiation is a poor word choice for what we should
be trying to achieve.  We should be looking for an intersection of
the policies involved to try to find common policy that we can then
use to protect a communication (assuming there is a common policy,
otherwise no communication can occur).

Should we use the term 'policy resolution' instead of 'policy
negotiation'?  Or something else?
