Hi Tim, and other XACML-ites.
I thought I would comment on Tim's #6, below, and remark on the
"host" matching, as well. I have probably only studied this
enough to be dangerous, and not enough to add actual value to the
discussion, so if what I say is garbage, then please dispose of
properly, and accept my appology for wasting folks' time. In any
case, here goes ...

> IP addresses will be distinguishable from DNS names because
