Title: No policy support for content encryption?

Description:
The EncryptedElements assertion requires element encryption, at line  
724. There is no corresponding EncryptedContent assertion. So there  
is no way to require encryption of the content of an element (e.g.  
xenc Type xmlenc#Content), only an element itself. This could be a  
limitation to policy expressiveness, when element content needs to be  
secured but the element itself not.
