Re: [xacml] Groups - XACML v3.0 Related and Nested Entities Profile Version 1.0 uploaded

[Steven Legg <steven.legg@viewds.com>]

Here is how I addressed the comments received on working draft 01.

Hal's comments:
    https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201312/msg00003.html

I refactored the introduction as Hal suggested. Section 1.1 is a non-normative,
high-level overview of what is contained in the profile along with a couple of
diagrams in the spirit of what Hal provided and some of his phrasing. The
discussion of alternative approaches and their failings is now in the non-normative
Section 2. The few normative statements from the old introduction are now in the
normative Section 3. Because Section 3 refers to the entity data-type I moved the
entity data-type section ahead of quantified expressions in the profile to become
the new Section 4. There are lots of red lines because of that, but there are no
significant changes.

Following Hal's endorsement I stuck with "domain". Sorry John!

Erik's comments:
    https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201311/msg00014.html

The split up of the introduction deals with the mix of normative and non-normative
content in the old introduction.

On the "primitive" data-type issue I mostly dropped the qualification and added
a clarification that the entity data-type is usable wherever XACML 3.0 specifies
a primitive data-type is required. That deals with the incongruity of calling
the entity data-type a primitive type.

The consolidated XML Schema definitions in the appendix have been extracted to a
separate file and there is now an explicit comment in Section 1.3 that the schema
fragments still in the profile are non-normative.

Mohammad's comments:
    https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201310/msg00031.html

I reworded the descriptions of the quantified expressions to remove any
suggestion that there is an order in which the values in the domain are
considered and added explicit statements of what the result is when the
domain is empty.

John's comments:
    https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/201310/msg00029.html

I didn't change the attribute identifiers for the reasons I gave in
the follow ups to John's message and because of Hal's recommendation
to avoid links between profiles. The approved exports example
may be a source of confusion depending on one's background knowledge.
Does anyone think I need to work on that a bit more ?

Did I miss anyone ?

Regards,
Steven
