That sounds reasonable.

Ok

Is this because currently you could have two different zones in the
enforcer: "zone" and "zone."? I am not sure if we necessarily have to be
backwards compatible with this.

I would like to see that everywhere you make the comparison:
- - "zone" equals "zone"
- - "zone" equals "zone."
- - "zone." equals "zone"
- - "zone." equals "zone."

In that case, it doesn't matter how you would add them, and the user
doesn't have to be concerned about being consistent.

Best regards,

Matthijs
