In fairness, when we began in 2001, the opinion of XML experts (e.g. Eve Maler) was that the state of tools was not sufficiently good to make use of XML for specification creation. XACML 2.0 has been evolved directly from the prior versions. Converting a large formatted document from Word or PDF to XML is a sustantial, and potentially error-prone piece of work and I do not blame the editors for not having attempted it.

Perhaps we should discuss if this should be done for 3.0.

P.S. For those of us whose expertise is not using XML to create documents, it would be useful if OASIS could list free tools (or even commercial products) which have successfully been used to create and edit OASIS Specifications.
