Subject: Re: [xacml-users] Storing policies in a policy Repository


Hi Massimiliano,

Please refer to the XACML 2.0 errata:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=xacml#XACML20errata

which refers to an updated version of the SAML/XACML specification:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/24681/xacml-profile-saml2.0-v2-spec-wd-5-en.pdf

I am not sure if this will answer your question, but the 
XACMLPolicyStatement was significantly revised in section 5.0, and this 
should also be reflected in the XACML 3,0 specifications when they are 
released.

    Thanks,
    Rich
