[xacml] Possible future XACML TC work

Here is a list of suggestions for future XACML TC work.  I
believe all of this is within our charter.

1. XACML 1.0+: RFE's based on actual usage
   a) Fully specify hierarchical resources
   b) Define new combining algorithms for deterministic
      Obligations.
   c) ebXML: Allow references to Rules (as we now allow for
      policies and policy sets)
   d) Incorporate fixes for errata
2. Profiles and bindings
   a) SAML: revised AuthorizationDecisionStatement,
      AuthorizationDecisionQuery, Response to support XACML
      Request and Response Context [Anne and Hal working on this]
   b) XMLDSig: how to sign XACML policies, requests, responses
      [Anne working on this]
   c) LDAP:
      1) how to store and retrieve policies using LDAP
      2) how to store and retrieve attributes using LDAP [already
         defined?  Simon?]
   d) ebXML:
      1) how to store and retrieve policies using ebXML
      2) how to store and retrieve attributes using ebXML
   e) Transport protocols (in addition to SAML wrapper)
3. Additional Conformance Tests
4. XACML Extensions
   a) WS-Policy [Tim's proposal]
   b) Information about how/where to obtain policies and
      attributes; how to authenticate them (e.g. trust anchors)
5. XACML Primer [Hal and Konstantin working on this]
6. XACML Implementer's Guide
