Schema subcommittee minutes for 10 Jun 2002 say: xacml:Attribute/xacml:AttributeDesignator: - AttributeFamily will be re-named AttributeNamespace to match the SAML usage. AttributeName (string) and AttributeNamespace (anyURI) will NOT be combined, but will be kept separate for consistency with SAML. Both AttributeName and AttributeNamespace are REQUIRED, but all other XML attributes of an Attribute or AttributeDesignator are OPTIONAL. AttributeNamespace has the semantic of "namespace authority" for the AttributeName value. In the core-14b.xsd schema, AttributeDesignatorType does not reflect this decision. Now: <xs:complexType name="AttributeDesignatorType"> <xs:attribute name="AttributeName" type="xs:anyURI" use="required"/> </xs:complexType> Should be changed to: <xs:complexType name="AttributeDesignatorType"> <xs:attribute name="AttributeName" type="xs:string" use="required"/> <xs:attribute name="AttributeNamespace" type="xs:anyURI" use="required"/> </xs:complexType> Anne -- Anne H.
