What you originally said was "all they have to do is add t=y".  I assume 
you mean "they" is "the attackers".  How would an attacker add "t=y" to a 
policy record and then take advantage of it?

The rest of your points about the exposure "t=y" in a published SSP record 
may be valid, but I remain confused about this point and it seems to be 
the premise of your attack.
