[xacml] Re: [batch #2] counter propoposal to 3-04
...provided you have a jvm handy (which by doing this we just offically 
made a requirement... or at least a very strong suggestion).

my feeling is that this being *psuedo code* it is only going to provide 
the logical construct for policy combination which will then be 
translated into the the internals of the PDP (be it java, c, c++, perl, 
python, c#, vb, etc.)
