Subject: Re: [xacml] How do I require subject not to be a member of a givengroup?



We currently take the values returned from *AttributeDesignator* to be
sequences of a certain type, and those types are understood to be within
the "xs:" namespace, which are simplistic, or should I say "primitive"
types.

Now, if we choose to make xacml:sequence-* types, we have to make more
functions to handle them.

This situation means you have to come up with a whole new array of
functions. If an AttributeValue has these xacml:sequence-string types,
then a *AttributeDesignator* returns a sequence-<xacml:sequence-string>.

The two types xacml:sequence-string and "sequence:<xs:string>" are NOT the
same.

This leads to problems with the "*Match* elements such as SubjectMatch.
What function do you specify when the AttributeDesignator returns a
sequence-<xacml:sequence-string>?
