Subject: RE: [xacml] Groups - oasis-xacml-profile-multiple-resources-wd-03 .pdfuploaded


Tim,

Thanks for the comments.  Here is how I responded to them in
Draft 04.

I changed text to say explicitly "If any of the new request
contexts evaluates to "Deny", "Indeterminate", or
"NotApplicable", then a single <Result> containing a <Decision>
of "Deny" SHALL be placed into the response context returned to
the PEP.  This is as if the responses were being combined under a
"DenyOverrides" combining algorithm, which seems to be the only
safe single choice.

Done.

the glossary.

I deleted "authorization" and changed to say just "decision
request".

Done.

Done.

I took your suggestions for the shorter titles.

Done.

Done.

I removed the sentence, but changed the previous sentence to say
"nodeset that contains exactly that one node in the
                               ^^^^
<ResourceContent> element"

My concern was that the XPath expression might well evaluate to
only a single node, but that node might be some node other than
the one that this new Request Context is being constructed for.

 > 295 - Eliminate leading space.

Done.  Eagle eye!

 > context.".  I think this is redundant.  Isn't it?

Same changes as for 277.

Thanks again.
