Subject: Re: [xacml] Abbreviated names for the XACML categories in the JSON profile
+!
Consistency with the core spec is good. I also think that although access-subject is by far the most common at the moment, the other might become more prevalent as more people use the spec. Allan Simplify Email: Email

I did that because most individuals I talk do not understand access-subject but do understand subject. It's also because access-subject is the only subject category widely used, the others not being so common.Glenn was suggesting I shorten urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:1.0:subject-category:access-subject to access-subject forconsistency's sake. I then replied I' turn to the TC for a final decision. There are three options:(a) go for access-subject. This way the shorthand is consistent for all categories (b) go for subject. It is more understandable (c) allow for both. What is your preferred option? I would like to decide on this before our next call so that I can upload WD17 before themeeting to move it ahead. I would vote for consistency with the core specification, i.e., (a).
