Thanks for including this nice documentation from the outset! I have a
couple of tiny nits to pick, but nothing really substantive to complain
about, so:

Thanks!

+IPE is a Linux Security Module, which allows for a configurable policy
I'd drop the comma (I told you these were nits!)

Got it, thanks!


[...]

+IPE Policy
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+IPE policy is designed to be both forward compatible and backwards
+compatible. There is one required line, at the top of the policy,
+indicating the policy name, and the policy version, for instance:
+
+::
+
+ policy_name="Ex Policy" policy_version=0.0.0
This pattern can be compressed a bit by just putting the "::" at the end of
the last line of text:

indicating the policy name, and the policy version, for instance::

policy_name="Ex Policy" policy_version=0.0.0

The result is a bit more readable in the plain-text format, IMO, and
renders exactly the same in Sphinx.

Awesome. I'll address this feedback in v3.
