+=========================
+List Based Flash Blocking
+=========================
+
+List based Flash blocking currently uses six lists.
+The lists specify what domains/subdomains Flash is allowed to or denied from loading on.
+The domains specified by the lists indicate the domain of the document that the Flash is loaded in, not the domain hosting the Flash content itself.
+
+* Allow List
+* Allow Exceptions List
+* Deny List
+* Deny Exceptions List
+* Sub-Document Deny List
+* Sub-Document Deny Exceptions List
+
+If a page is on a list and the corresponding "Exceptions List", it is treated as though it is not on that list.
+
+Classification
+==============
+
+Documents can be classified as Allow, Deny or Unknown.
+Documents with an Allow classification may load Flash normally.
+Documents with a Deny classification may not load Flash at all.
+A Deny classification overrides an Allow classification.
+The Unknown classification is the fall-through classification; it essentially just means that the document did not receive an Allow or Deny classification.
+Documents with an Unknown classification will have Flash set to Click To Activate.
+
+If the document is at the top level (its address is in the URL bar), then the Deny List is checked first followed by the Allow List to determine its classification.
+
+If the document is not at the top level, it will receive a Deny classification if the classification of the parent document is Deny or if the document is on the Deny List.
+It will also receive a Deny classification if the sub-document is not same-origin and the document is on the Sub-Document Deny List.
+If the document did not receive a Deny classification, it can receive an Allow classification if it is on the Allow List or if the parent document received an Allow classification.
+
+If for any reason, the document has a null principal, it will receive a Deny classification.
+Some examples of documents that would have a null principal are:
+
+* Data URIs <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/Data_URIs> loaded directly from the URL bar. Data URIs loaded by a page should inherit the loading page's permissions.
+* URIs that are rendered with the JSON viewer
