Yes, I noticed that when implementing the profile :-). I fixed it now.

I don't see in the XACML 3.0 core spec where the EarliestVersion and LatestVersion must be absent. On lines
1961 to 1964 I read that
/EarliestVersion [Optional] /
/Specifies a matching _expression_ for the earliest acceptable version of the policy set referenced. /
/LatestVersion [Optional] /
/Specifies a matching _expression_ for the latest acceptable version of the policy set referenced./
It also says it is part of the PolicySetIdReference and PolicyIdReference.
/
/
Later in the spec, I do see that in the response, the following rule applies:
/The identifier and version of a policy which was applicable to the request. See section 5.11. The
<PolicyIdReference> element MUST use the Version attribute to specify the version and MUST NOT use the
LatestVersion or EarliestVersion attributes./
Does it mean that the attributes /LatestVersion /and /EarliestVersion /must not be included altogether?
That is how I've interpreted it. They aren't needed at all in the JSON encoding
of a response, so we could leave them out, but if we later create a JSON encoding
for policies, then we would need to put them back in, or have two JSON objects
with the same name but different members, or use a different name for references
in a Policy. Take your pick which strategy is going to be the least confusing.

Steven

hal: should we tackle these 2 issues
erik: think we are converging on something; perf concern about
large sets of tuples, stephen said could optimize by
processing subsets; concern that xacml might be translatable
to db searches;
stephen: what should extensions actually look like, mohammad came
up w sql-like approach; in condition implicitly selects, and
need diff syntax for joins;
mohammad: thinks a simple join will work
stephen: tuple sets soon has duplication within nested context;
because of that abandoned nested;
rich: wants to mention that sql not a good representation, should
be more like attr-val-entity;
stephen: agrees in general
mohammad: agrees but when tried to extend hier ran into issues and
thats when sql emerged.
rich: will try to elaborate in followup email

stephen: still looking into alternatives to admin approach; practical
necessity to dup admin policies nearly everywhere there is issue
wrt unsafe policies being integrated w admin policies; reduction
graphs lead to some perf issues
erik: fwd chaining doesn't have same problem; top down recursive
could limit intermediate delegates;
also issue w np-complete;
stephen: hasn't found way to deal w malicious policy;
hal: in old days disc about detecting invalid policies;
hal: recollection of use cases; large ratio between general pop
vs admin people; maybe that helps;
rich: what is issue of ctl
stephen: sibling admin policy; writer of admin has to anticipate
places where delegates will be extending, and making
sure delegates have right authority; only sibling within
same policy set.
hal: as opposed to putting admins high in the tree;
stephen: but hi in tree can't authorize things lower in the tree;
stephen: one interesting use case is discretionary access ctl, such
as every owner of resource is authorized, so they can write
policies for their own resources;
hal: "can do, can del" was intended to address that; if you are allowed
to do it, you can delegate it as a policy; originally was in
admin profile but we moved it to core.
"can do, can del" is popular access model, implicitly mentioned
in sections 2.7, 2.9 of core spec.
