[xacml] xacml v0.18c, schemas, and issues

[Simon Godik <simon@godik.com>]

Here is a version of the spec with most of the editing changes applied

 

1. In section 7.1 I included just Polar's text from message http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200210/msg00101.html Should Anne's text also be included?

 

2. I could not find text for sections:

7.4.2 Attributes,

7.4.2.1 Attributes Retrieval

7.4.2.2 Missing Attributes.

 

3. ISSUE: DataType attribute representation in the AttributeDesignator, AttributeSelector, etc

Current schema defines DataType attribute to of type xs:anyURI.

Then correct data-type decl would be: (same for section B4)

DataType="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string"

For xacml types:

DataType="urn:oasis-open:tc:names:xacml:1.0:datatype:x500name"

 

If DataType is QName, then DataType="xsi:string"

For xacml types: DataType="xacmldt:X500name"

where xacmldt="urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:1.0:datatype"

 

It seems to me, that QName is more common representation for the DataType.

 

DataType attribute is required. Is it better optional like Anne suggested?
