It seems to me that documenting the procedures used to install and maintain
the firewall might be a good idea even without ISO 9000 hanging over one's
head.  Of course, one hopes that commercial firewalls would come with a lot
of this documentation, although in my experience this sadly isn't always the
case.

Maybe I can use ISO 9000 as leverage to get clients to spend the appropriate
amount of time to produce realistic security policies :-).
