[xacml] WSPL - XACML gap analysis

[Tim Moses <tim.moses@entrust.com>]

Colleagues - Here is an initial stab at a gap analysis.  I compare XACML
v1.0 with the requirements listed here ...

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200303/msg00014.html

Category 1 (Satisfied and adequately explained in XACML v1.0): R1, R4, R5,
R6, R7, R13, R14, R15, R16.

Category 2 (Satisfied in XACML v1.0, but fuller explanation required): R2,
R3, R8 (use <Target> element), R11.

Category 3 (Needs features not found in XACML v1.0):

R9 - WSS-QoP describes how to reference policy from WSDL and SOAP.
R10 - Needs the reintroduction of orderedOr and orderedAnd functions with an
explanation of their semantics.
R12 - Needs a way to reference the result of an operation.

R2 and R3, I think, are the most substantial pieces of work.

Any comments?  All the best.  Tim.
