So standard practice using FIPA would be to create our own chain within that 
environment and anything that needs outside communication would get signed by 
LE as a leaf node. Is that true?

I hate to ask basic questions, but I haven't been able to find any standard 
practice documentation so my process is to make assumptions and press buttons.

Yes. This exactly, but I may be approaching this from the wrong angle as you 
explain in the second paragraph, but I didn't know what other perspectives 
there were.

When banging one's head on the desk it feels good to finally stop. Thank you.
