Subject: CD-1 issue #12: normative statement which allows anything
The issue number refers to the XLS-sheet found in this email: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200909/msg00013.html The commenter points to the following text in the hierarchical profile: "The following sections describe RECOMMENDED representations for nodes in hierarchical resources. Alternative representations of nodes in a given resource are permitted so long as all Policy Administration Points and all Policy Enforcement Points that deal with that resource have contracted to use the alternative representation." He thinks this statement makes conformance statements to this profile meaningless since in effect this normative statement allows the implementation to do anything. I agree and I think we should remove this statement. The intent of it has been to say that an implementation can do something else than to follow the hierarchical profile. But that is already clear since conformance to the hierarchical profile as a whole is optional for any implementation. Best regards, Erik
