RE: [xacml] xacml 1.1 draft 1
Colleagues - A handful of editorial comments.

 

Lines 
4 and 31.  This is a committee spec., not an OASIS 
spec..

Line 
5.  Perhaps, we should just assign a document id.  Let's not wait for 
an OASIS numbering system.

Lines 
11 - 24.  Needs updating.  Also suggest removing email 
addresses.  Also Appendix D.

Line 
995.  Wrong font.

Line 
1950.  " ... be combined by the algorithm specified by ..." becomes " ... 
be combined using the algorithm specified by ..."  (Just removes 
repetition of "by").

Line 
2612.  "The selected node is different from the node types listed 
above".  But the list above contains constructor functions (according to 
line 2583).

Lines 
2635 - 2645.  Non-normative language.  In four place "is" should be 
"SHALL be".

Lines 
3107 - 3117 and lines 3130 - 3144.  The phrases in the text don't match the 
phrases in the table.  e.g. "At least one applicable" in the text, whereas 
"At least one rule value is its Effect" in the table.

Lines 
3172 - 3193.  I am personally still not happy with this explanation.  
I don't have a specific proposal.  But, one signal that something is wrong 
comes from the fact that in line 3175 we say that "A named attribute is the 
term for the criteria ...".  But, in line 3180 we say that "A named 
attribute has specific criteria ...".  Is "attribute instance" more 
descriptive than "named attribute"?

 

I 
should point out that most of these comments apply to the original editor's 
work.  All the best.  Tim.
