Information about UBL code lists

["Eve L. Maler" <eve.maler@sun.com>]

At the F2F I briefly described the UBL TC's design for "code lists", 
which have some similar properties to our attribute (and action) 
namespaces.  We didn't consider SAML's precise current solution (simple 
name string + namespace URI) nor XACML's (one-part URI reference), but 
we did analyze a number of other solutions.  I've attached a few slides 
that introduce the UBL solution (datatyped string with canonical 
metadata attributes, where the datatype is the interface between code 
list producers and consumers), and if anyone is interested I can also 
forward a long analysis document we did last year.
