Dear John Merrells, Thank you for submitting your comment. The XACML TC response to your comment is: CATEGORY: Unclear. STATUS: Discussed 14 November 2002. RESPONSE: Approved. We agreed that this section is unclear and needs to be re-worded. ACTION ITEM: [Anne Anderson, due 21 November 2002] Submit a proposed re-wording of Section A.12 to make it more clear, but without changing existing schema or semantics. ACTIONS: None at this time. We will respond again to this comment with the final resolution once a re-wording has been agreed upon.
