XACML Profile for Hierarchical Resources, Draft 04

Attached is a draft XACML Profile for Hierarchical Resources.  It
contains the same hierarchical resources content as the draft
that was attached to
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200405/msg00104.html.
Note that previous draft was listed as Draft 02, but was actually
Draft 03.  (See Revision History at the end of the Profile.

All of the specific features for handling hierarchical resources
have been made {Normative, but optional}.  This is defined as
"Optional for compliant XACML implementations, but, if the
functionality is claimed as being supported according to this
Profile, then it SHALL be supported in the way described."

The material from the previous draft relating to requests for
multiple resources will be issued soon as a separate XACML
Profile for Request for Multiple Resources.

Comments are welcome.
