In the Unix MLS systems we found that allowing whitespace in label names was a bad idea. We also found that aliases (e.g. TS for TopSecret, secret for Secret) are absolutely necessary. I will not participate in the case sensitive/insensitive debate, but y'all should have it over with. Then there's my favorite issue, that of whether a user cleared only to Secret can see the lable names for TopSecret. You may not chose to address all of these issues, but you should be ready to explain why they don't matter as you will be asked.
