Title: Message

Colleagues - I have just realized how much work this is going to 
be.  In addition to the specific changes described by Simon, all the 
examples are affected and the introductory material, including the class diagram 
are affected.  This is going to take some time.

 

I 
would like to see formal acceptance of the proposal as soon as possible, because 
backtracking doesn't look like an appealing option.

 

Personally, I lament the passing of <Condition>.  The part of 
<Rule> that complements <Target> is a significant independent 
concept that deserves its own name.  Anyone who has to explain XACML will 
have to refer to it.  With the passing of <Condition>, they'll have 
to talk about "the child <Expression> element of 
the <Rule> element" or some such.  Global replace may work for 
the editor, but it is not a very attractive prospect for the 
reader.

 

Does 
anyone else feel that this idea needs a name of its own?

 

All 
the best.  Tim.
