Which entities are metadata and metadata_policy applicable on.

When a superior issues an entity statement about a subordinate subject it can use metadata and metadata_policy claims to specify the policy that should govern the subject’s metadata. Unfortunately the text doesn’t seem to be clear on if both metadata and metadata_policy also should be applied to subordinates to the subject.

The intent was that the policy (whether it’s specified using metadata or metadata_policy) should be applicable to the subject as well as all the subject’s subordinates. This has to be made clearer in the text.
