resource-id attribute: mandatory or optional?

Dear all,

section 10.2.6 in the xacml 3.0 core spec defines the
resource-id attribute as mandatory. From my point of view it would be more convenient
to define it as optional as the content-selector attribute is doing the same thing.
Defining resource-id as mandatory forces decision requests to contain this
attribute even if never used. 

best regards 

jan
