Re: [xacml] Attribute categories

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

I can't call in today.  I'm very glad to see the draft available, 
however.  I have read through the latest Admin Policy draft, and will be 
ready to discuss it at next week's meeting.

Thanks for all your work on this, Erik.  You have been pulling a big 
share of the load, and you have done an excellent job.  And thanks to 
Daniel for getting the categories draft out to us.
