What about the case of the current practice of allowing
Light_Restriction_Item's state change to "no_light" forcing the
Light_Item off?  Could this be disabled if this is not a user's
preferred behavior?

Something else to note while on this subject is that it is possible for
a Light_Item and the "physical" light that it is intended to control to
get "out of sync" if a Light_Restriction_Item is attached w/ state =
"no_light" and a user asserts local control to the "physical" light by
manually turning on the light switch.  For one-way devices, this is a
fact of life anyway.  But, w/ 2-way devices, this is semi-problematic if
there is an expectation that the states agree (which they will for all
other cases/scenarios).
