It's "just" (!) a Perl script, so it would just as easily sit in the docs-common/scripts/ folder, along with a configuration file setting FDP standards for normalization. Alternately, someone with more Perl-fu could check the script for security and then try for FE. I think that doing so means the maintainer is making some representations about security which I'm not qualified to do... so you could call this the "prudent wimp-out" factor. :-) -- Paul W.
