I had a quick look at the document, and it exhibits a deep lack of 
understanding how XACML can be used in practice.
I also have serious doubts about the credibility of having the main 
author of NGAC write a document that creates the impression of 
presenting an impartial evaluation of XACML vs. NGAC.

I am in the process of preparing a rebuttal for NIST, and I invite 
everyone to do likewise.

Ludwig
