Subject: Clarification of text in 3.0


Section 7.7 says

An empty target matches any request. Otherwise the target value SHALL be "Match" if all the AnyOf 
specified in the target match values in the request context.  Otherwise, if any one of the AnyOf specified 
in the target is "No Match", then the target SHALL be "No Match".

But the example in section 4.2.4.4 says

The <AnyOf> element contains two <AllOf> elements, each of which contains one <Match>  
element.  The target matches if the action identified in the request context matches either of the action 
match criteria.

The example corresponds to the common-sense meaning of "AnyOf" while the text in 7.7 does not.  Should 7.7 read this way instead?

An empty target matches any request. Otherwise the target value SHALL be "Match" if any of the AnyOf 
specified in the target match values in the request context.  Otherwise, if all of the AnyOf specified 
in the target is "No Match", then the target SHALL be "No Match".
