10:10 - 11:00 Issues

  Issue list reference
   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200910/xls00000.xls

 New Issues:

  Multiple meanings of term "xpath-expression" - looking for clarity:
  (spinoff from issues 13,14,21) in Mult profile
   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200910/msg00049.html

    Jan: people get confused w multiple context of xpath-expr
    Erik: literal value for scope of attributes.
    Rich: issue not in spreadsheet yet
    Hal: proposed resolution: clarify text in appropriate context
->  Note: need a new issue number for this small editing change


  Reg-exp vs xpath analysis, in conjunction w issue 11: 
  Hier: resource-id, performance consideration:
   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200910/msg00050.html
  discussion:
   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200910/msg00054.html

    Erik: w xpath matching, need to enumerate all nodes spec'd by
	the policy
     regexp operates on xpath expression itself
     not sure of complexity of xpath; could be valuable to have
	more direct approach on expressions
     best approach make xpath expression more strictly defined.
     does think regexp has some issues for knowing scope
    Hal: other discussions, running xpath backwards not feasible
     non-terminating, leads to infinite calculations
    Erik: indiv res can match into the DOM, more context w/o resource
    Rich: this discussion is closely related to proposal
    Hal: identifying resources is separate problem from obtaining
     elements and attrs from xml document. selectors avoid
     designators; 3rd case is when you have xml resources.
    Paul: thinks it is covered by other mechanisms, not needed

    Resolution: this does not appear to be a new issue, it appears
     to be more background material for issue 11.


  Proposal to change MULT profile: to clarify resource-id formats,
  MAD:
   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200910/msg00052.html
   http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200910/msg00053.html

    Paul: msg 53: line 64-74; when you implement this it is important
	for users to know what is going to happen when they issue
	a request. Multiple requests from single results.
      scope attrs when xml content; a->e branches on what you
	do based on scope.
    Jan: for whole hierarchy requires multiple individual requests
 	results in one decision.
    Paul: seems out of place in mult profile
    Jan: entire hierarchy -> first have descendants as resource-ids
	might want to say how you want results combined; ex scope
	is children and want one result, can't currently do. Might
	have attr for aggregation of responses.
    Paul: still doesn't understand why can't be done w existing mech.
    Rich: missing scope entire hierarchy vs descendants not matched
	by xxx vs children; Jan's proposal could elim need for
	entire hierarchy section w aggregation attr
    Paul: understands option is for one answer, w different input
	scopes.
    Paul: in proposed steps (number "4" is missing, but steps are
	ok and just 5->n becomes 4->n-1.
    Rich: need a little time to go thru algorithm proposed.
    Hal: where is Jan constrained from what doing
    Jan: multiple category attrs, independent of his current concerns.
	do not have multiple category issue yet
    Hal: that is "outer loop"
    Jan: concern is unique id attributes
    Paul: issue w categories?
    Jan: no reqt to use that approach.

    Hal: proposals on table:
	1. paul approach w small tweaks, xml doc and xpath can 
		do what's needed
	2. run regexp over xml is namespace issue, rich proposal
		names nodes in xml doc for reg exp

    Jan: how does xpath do the identity test? How is unique name
	for this node.
    Erik: internal pointer ref. Point on clark notation, there
	is some mechanism in xpath
    Paul: evaluate in context of existing features
    Hal: if we can solve using off the shelf tools, better than
	inventing our own.
    Hal: our problem of naming a node explicitly in xpath may
	not be what xpath designed to do, but erik mentioned
	a possible mechanism.

    Resolution:
     Hal: will try to organize what needs to be decided
