In-publication Comments on JSON Profile of XACML 3.0 Version 1.0 Committee Specification 01

[Paul Knight <paul.knight@oasis-open.org>]

Hi XACML TC,

In preparing CS01 for publication, I noted the following items which you may consider for future improvements to your excellent Work Product:

- The normative Reference to [XACML30] shows the wrong date (2010 instead of 2013) for this key OASIS Standard, and uses a non-recommended format.  Also, the "Latest" link is used, but a specific stage (OS) is shown. Please refer to the XACML v3.0 OS for the recommended citation format. (at end of "front matter")

- The citation for [XACMLMDP] is very far out of date - the current stage is CS02 as of May, 2014.

- the non-normative reference to [XACMLREST] is outdated - latest is CS02, in November 2014.

- the reference to RFC2616 (HTTP) is obsolete, and should be replaced by (at least one of):

       [RFC7230]                  Fielding, R., and J. Reschke, “Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Message Syntax and Routing”, RFC 7230, June 2014. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc7230.txt

        [RFC7231]                  Fielding, R., and J. Reschke, “Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Semantics and Content”, RFC 7231, June 2014. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc7231.txt

        [RFC7232]                  Fielding, R., and J. Reschke, “Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Conditional Requests”, RFC 7232, June 2014. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc7232.txt

- suggest formatting the table captions to remain with the following tables - in some cases, the table is on the following page.

Best regards,

Paul
