The problem is that there is no detailed
description about <AttributeAssignment>
in the XACML 1.0 spec.
Anyway, I'll ask Kudo-san to correct
the testcases according to your comment.

Is there any meeting minutes on the
agreement.
I'm asking because we should mention
it (if any) in the test case description.

Subject	problem with conformance tests

I believe that all of the tests in section IIIA are incorrect in how they
use
Obligations. The AttributeAssignments are all written as

  <AttributeAssignment
      AttributeId="..."
      DataType="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">
      <AttributeValue DataType="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">assignment1</AttributeValue>
  </AttributeAssignment>

when they should be written as

  <AttributeAssignment
      AttributeId="..."
      DataType="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">assignment1</AttributeAssignment>

In other words, the extra AttributeValue tag should not be used. I actually
posted to the TC list about this several months ago (not because of the
confromance tests, but because the topic had come up somewhere else), and
we
agreed that this is right. Basically, the assgnment should be a string
value
of "assignment1" which is what you get in the second case above,
but not in
the first one.
