Ken,
on whether "tri-state" or "2 binary properties" is the superior
representation of the problem, I'll just state that the only difference
between them is that "2 binary properties" has one silly state, and "one
tri-state property" does not have it.

In other words: You think there is no need for a stability guarantee for
the set of "assigned and not IDN_Permitted", or a subset thereof.
