 We need to publicly document our rule review process in the rule
 development howto. The document should be written to be read by rule
 authors as well as rule set administrators/reviewers. It should describe
 both common pitfalls in rule authorship, as well as potential vectors for
 malicious rules, and examples of each.

 To motivate this, it should also briefly define an adversary model. As far
 as I am aware, the two classes of adversaries we face are network
 adversaries that exploit poorly written existing rules, and rule author
 adversaries that try to subtly smuggle malicious rewrite rules into
 rulesets for purposes of MITM/phishing.
