* The lifeForm param is a humorous way of describing whether the interaction is proceeding from direct Human Interaction via a browser

* can more easily be determined by Certificate, Mechanical ID/Password etc. Popularized in modern culture and Science Fiction (especially
* Star Trek), we (starting with Robert Garskof) use the terms "Carbon Based Life Form" (CBLF) for mechanisms with people at the end of them, or
* "Silicon Based Life Forms" (SBLF) to indicate machine only interactions. I have added "LFN" for (Life-Form Neutral) to aid identifying
* processes for which it doesn't matter whether there is a human at the immediate end of the chain, or cannot be determined mechanically.
*
* The variable parameter is not necessarily ideal, but with too many unknown Tafs to be created, flexibility,
* is unfortunately required at this point. Future versions could lock this down more. Jonathan 10/18/2012
