Subject: Re: [xacml] Proposal of Model for comparing two sequences
Michiharu,
Convoluting the SIMPLE apply function is a bad idea. Not only that, you'd
have to do so for the Condition construct as well.
For example, what would the following be:
<Apply FunctionId="function:integer-subtract" ComparisonBase="ANY">
<AttributeValue>10</AttributeValue>
<AttributeValue>20</AttributeValue>
</Apply>
-Polar
