Subject: [xacml-comment] C.3 First-Applicable policy-combining alg inconsistent


In the description of the policy-combining algorithm for
FirstApplicable, lines 4752-4754 say: if error occurs while
evaluating a policy, then evaluation shall continue looking for
an applicable policy, returning Indeterminate only if no
applicable policy found.

But lines 4755-4758 say: if error occurs while evaluation a
policy, then evaluation shall halt and policy set shall evaluate
to "Indeterminate".

Lines 4752-4754 should be deleted.  That would be consistent with
the pseudo-code and with the "safety" of not allowing any
"Permit" if there is an Indeterminate that should have returned a
Deny.
