Request for comment -- BCP38

Is this an accurate thumbnail summary of BCP38 (ignoring for the moment the issues of multi-home), or is there something I missed?

    The basic philosophy of BCP38 boils down to two axioms:

        Don't let the "bad stuff" into your router
        Don't let the "bad stuff" leave your router

    The original definition of "bad stuff" is limited to source-
    address grooming both inbound and outbound.  I've expanded on the
    original definition by including rule generation to control
    broadcast address abuse.
