[xacml] problem understanding resolution for issue PM-2-06

Title: BATCH #2: E-mail vote to close issues...

Hi,

 

I'm having a problem 
to understand the proposed resolution for PM-2-06:

 

===============================================

PM-2-06: 
Encapsulation of XACML policy (Anne) 

Proposed Resolution: The XACML syntax will not 
contain its own 
security features.  An XACML rule has no 
XACML-specified 
encapsulation.  An XACML policyStatement or 

policyCombinationStatement MAY be encapsulated in a SAML 

assertion. 

================================================

First, since 
the issue documentation in the issue list does not have the description of the 
issue, I'm not sure what the problem to be addressed is. Maybe this leads me to 
the failure to grasp the proposed resolution. Could somebody explain in plain and non-normative 
English what the issue is and what the proposed resolution text 
means?

 

Thanks

Konstantin
