I would think that it is a perfectly sensible thing to punt on those
issues in the context of an authorization language standard.   XACML is
not about reliable messaging, provisioning or assurance.  There is
nothing special about XACML policies in this context - those are just
another XML documents, queried and delivered.   We should not be in the
business of defining metadata on those documents for those purposes - it
would be a waste of time and an unnecessary complication.
