Good question!  The point of this is really to allow a remote client
environment to offer this text to an end user when they are preparing
a submission, so it wouldn't be much use in a machine-only
environment.

Yes, out of scope :)  You could consider the collection policy
informational, and sword provides a mechanism by which to expose that
information to potential depositors, but it doesn't say anything about
how you come to agree about that policy.
