I agree with Chris. This will actually let you make things not transition by 
default so _trans is misleading. Further, "process" shouldn't be a token since 
it is an object class (you couldn't actually parse policy with Eric's patches 
could you?). I don't like "parent" as a token either, and SELinux doesn't know 
anything about processes and parents anyway. SDS's suggestions a while back are 
more appropriate IMO, since SELinux does know what source and target are.
