Description

In the page section currently at https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/security/authorization-policy/#Rule, about each of `from`, `to`, and `when`, it says, "If not set, any [source/operation/condition] is allowed."

Isn't that very wrong? Whether any source/operation/condition is _allowed_ or _denied_ depends on whether the action is `ALLOW` or `DENY`, right?

Shouldn't the referenced text say that any source/operation/condition _matches_, not that it _is allowed_?
