1.1 Work Item: Detailed proposal for ConditionIdReference

[Anne Anderson <Anne.Anderson@Sun.com>]

The following message contains Michiharu's detailed proposal for
implementing a ConditionIdReference:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200304/msg00039.html

The motivation is that a policy writer may have a common
Condition statement that then needs to be included in various
different Rules that have various Targets.

I believe this can be accomplished using RuleIdReferences
(another proposed 1.1 work item): define a Rule that has an "Any"
Target and include the desired Condition in that Rule.  Now,
define a Policy for each of the various Targets, and include a
reference to this common Rule in each (rather than spelling out
the same Rule with the same Condition).
