Comments on XACML 1.1 draft 3

Hi, 

Here are my comments on the new draft
version 3 posted at 

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200307/msg00082.html

Essentially, these are the restatement
of my old comments posted at

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200307/msg00035.html

(1) 

Section 5.4 (PDF, page 48, Lines 1847--1848):

"The <XPathVersion> element
SHALL specify 

the version of the XPath specification
to be 

used by <AttributeSelector> elements."

should be 

"The <XPathVersion> element
SHALL specify 

the version of the XPath specification
to be 

used by <AttributeSelector> elements
and XPath-based functions." 

My point is that this sentence should
mention not only <AttributeSelector>

but also XPath-based functions.

This comment is based on Section 3.9
of the errata document. 

(2) 

Two different terms (with/without "-")
are used to refer to a URI equality comparison. 

Without "-":

"URI equality" in Sections
5.27 and 7.9.1.

With "-":

"URI-equality" in Section
5.28 (PDF, page 59, line 2286). 

We should have a common term.
