RE: [xacml] xacml 1.1 draft 1
Colleagues - One other thing.  Merely in the interests of stylistic 
consistency, why don't we have a succinct definition of "type unification" in 
the Glossary, and explain how to do it in that part of the specification where 
the concept is used?  All the best.  Tim.

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.
