xacml errata v03

Xacml errata document v03.

 

I'm getting error message from archive lists for 
every search.

I listed errata items with proposed resolutions. I 
hope none of these is controversial and we can approve them 
quickly.

 

errata 3.6:

string-equality or uri equality for the subject 
category

proposal: not an errata, leave as is: 
string-equality. URI-equality implies URL-equality and this could get very 
complicated because URL can be url-encoded. Besides, this does not cover URN 
what subject attribute really is.

 

errata 3.9:

<XPathVersion> element and XPath-based 
functions

proposal: <XPathVersion> element is REQUIRED 
if the XACML enclosing policy set or policy contains <AttributeSelector> 
elements or XPath-based functions.

 

errata 3.10:

context node for xpath expressions

proposal: <xacml-context:Request> element is 
a context node for every xpath expression.

 

errata 3.11

semantics of the <attirbute-assignment> 
children elements

proposal: needs text.

 

Messages http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml-comment/200304/msg00007.html (how 
to combine multiple policy sets?) and http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml-comment/200305/msg00001.html (xpath-node-match 
and IIIG004Policy.xml) must be discussed and converted into errata format if it 
is actual errata.
