Title: RE: [xacml] Reducing number of functions for 1.0

Does make sense - although this, unlike getting rid of this abomination of date manipulations, is a rather minor optimization..

Subject:        [xacml] Reducing number of functions for 1.0 

        Are members interested in trying to minimize the number of

functions 

that have to be supported (and tested) for XACML 1.0? 

        Here are two proposals for reducing our current list: 

        1. Rather than support *-not-equal, expect people to use 

   <function:not><function:*-equal> 

        2. Rather than support *-less-than and *-less-than-or-equal, 

   expect people to use 

        <function:not><function:*-greater-than-or-equal> 

   for *-less-than, and 

        <function:not><function:*-greater-than> 

   for *-less-than-or-equal.
