I'm not so sanguine about the attestations.  Sun's Open Source
XACML Implementation is up-to-date with 1.1, but I have not heard
from any other implementations.  At the time we discussed trying
for OASIS Standard, there were no other attestations offered or
even suggested as possibilities.

I'm assuming there is at least one other vendor about ready to
attest now :-), but unless we can get a third, this option is not
open to us.

I would love to see 1.1 move to OASIS Standard if possible,
however.
