Content classes probably shouldn't try to enforce site-specific
policies, as they become brittle and hard to reuse.  The tool
is actually designed in anticipation that sites which want to
enforce the metadata policies will do so via customized skins.
We could look at setting a site-wide property for this, and
causing the various "stock" skins to check this property and
then invoke the tool if it is set.
